School of Architecture at Mississippi State

The Bachelor of Architecture program offered by the School of Architecture at Mississippi State University has been continuously accredited by NAAB since its inception, and in July 2010 the school was reaccredited for another full six-year term.

Established in 1973 with the support of an Advisory Committee of the Mississippi Chapter of the American Institute of Architects to meet the architectural needs of the state and region, the School of Architecture offers the only curriculum in the State of Mississippi leading to a professional degree in architecture. The School offers an intense, carefully structured, and rich array of courses that constitute a solid foundation for architectural practice. While course work is comprehensive in scope, providing students with an awareness of the diversity and complexity of today’s professional world, each course has its own important role in developing the unique knowledge and abilities required of architects in a modern world.

The profession of architecture offers students the opportunity to participate in improving the physical world, solving problems of our society, and giving form to the needs of modern culture. Meeting these demands requires a highly trained profession composed of sensitive, dedicated men and women. The School of Architecture is the educational foundation of the profession in the State of Mississippi and provides for the development of the individual skills and understanding to prepare the student for his or her role in the practice of architecture.
