The curriculum of study for the Bachelor of Architecture degree are organized into three categories: a core or required courses in architecture study, arts courses, and internship in an architectural firm. The core  is primarily taken in the first four years and is designed to give the basic professional preparation in architectural design, construction technology, graphic communication, and humanistic aspects of design. This personalized fourth-year curriculum is directed toward a culmination in the fifth-year internship. The  project and thesis in the fourth year polishes the student’s academic architectural experience with an in-depth design study, preceded and accompanied by research. The degree project is executed with the guidance from critics and guides chosen by ISA. The fifth year of internship at an architect’s firm completes the academic program with a real world feel through delivering of real projects for real clients under senior architects.
