For some, the six-week program is a chance to see whether they are interested in architecture. Others see it as a transition to graduate school. And others use the program as an opportunity to build a portfolio and further their careers.

The landscape architecture program--the smallest of the three--has another group of projects which includes analysis of sites and designs.
