The Notre Dame School of Architecture graduate programs in architecture, urban design, and historic preservation promote built environments that are durable, useful, and beautiful, and which are supportive of strong communities. The School seeks to train designers, preservationists, scholars, and advocates for the built environment who can play a leading role in a variety of disciplines and arenas. Towards these ends, the graduate curriculum promotes the understanding of detail, building, and city as a continuous and interdependent scalar spectrum.
