About

As soon as you enter Kean's  program, you begin working on real architectural and planning projects with your professors — public architecture projects that put design in the service of the public good, and projects such as the transformation of spaces at Kean, Wenzhou-Kean University in China, and in communities across New Jersey.

You learn the principles and practice of design. You gain experience working with the important players in every public project — clients, community groups, planning commissioners and government officials. In the process, you develop a broad perspective on the way architects approach professional challenges, address client demands and solve client problems, and contribute to a more beautiful built environment.

The School of Public Architecture offers the following undergraduate and master's degree programs:

The architecture program trains students to compete and excel in the increasing globalized field of architectural design. With our required Spring in Rome curriculum component, third-year students study in Rome for a semester.
