In 2004, MSU established the College of Architecture, Art, and Design. Previous to this creation, the college was known as the School of Architecture, housing a professional undergraduate program and a nonprofessional Master of Science in Architecture. Joining these two programs were the Interior Design Program, formerly from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and the Department of Art, formerly from the College of Arts and Sciences.
The College of Architecture, Art and Design continues to enjoy excellent support from dedicated professionals through their active and voluntary participation in our advisory boards. The boards support the programs through giving input into and influencing the direction of each program.
The Advancement Funds within the College of Architecture, Art and Design support many of the needs in the college and its departments. Each department has unique values, goals, and needs for funding, highlighted below:
The School of Architecture Advancement Fund supports many initiatives, goals and urgent needs within the School of Architecture. It provides a margin of excellence in the school’s efforts, producing an impact on faculty and students that would otherwise be impossible under current state funding.
We have a student organization for current students who are excited and waiting to connect with you to answer all those questions you just need to hear from someone who has been through it, such as “How did you find a roommate, what can I do now to get ready, what are art classes really like, what residence hall is the best option for me,” etc.
Please fill out form at the link below and we will try to facilitate connecting you with a student.
Alpha Rho Chi is the only national co-ed professional fraternity for architecture and the allied arts.

The “Hippos" actively work together to host a series of professional events every spring, fundraising events for their philanthropy throughout the year, brotherhood events for chapter bonding, a White Rose Formal each fall, and a summer retreat for bonding/business.
