Historical NoteReturn to Top
In the early teens, architecture as a professional degree was offered at WSC. In 1916, the Washington state legislature passed a law which distributed professional programs between UW and WSC, and architecture became under the purview of UW. Non-degree courses in architecture were still offered, and by 1957, the College of Engineering had a degree program called Architectural Engineering, which allowed graduates the same route to architectural licensure as an accredited Architecture degree in Washington State alone.
In 1963, the Washington State Legislature passed a law (senate bill 285) that permitted Washington State University to offer degrees in both Architectural Engineering or Architecture. By 1975, the Department offered three degrees: Bachelor of Architecture, Architectural Studies, and Bachelor of Science in Building Theory and Practice. The NAAB accredited five-year B. Architecture degree was replaced with a one-year M. Architecture degree that directly followed the four-year unaccredited Bachelor of Architecture degree. A two, and later three, year accredited Master of Architecture followed.
A merged joint College of Engineering and Architecture was formed in 1984.
