<p>Maybe I am looking in the wrong place, but does University of Chicago not have a major in architecture? I was looking at the list of majors and could not find it…
What is the closest thing to it?
Thanks!</p>
<p>Architecture is almost a specific kind of engineering, so no, there is no major for it at the University of Chicago, which is a liberal arts school.</p>
<p>There is lots of interest in architectural history and in urban design at Chicago, but nothing remotely approaching an architecture major.</p>
<p>Go to Northwestern. Chicago is a fabulous city in which to study architecture.</p>
<p>Chicago used to have a list of majors it didn’t offer. Architecture, of course, made the list.</p>
<p>[Chicago:</a> Non-Majors](<a href=“http://web.archive.org/web/20060213093430/collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/level2.asp?id=346]Chicago:”>Chicago: Non-Majors)</p>
<p>If you are interested in Chicago but want to pursue architecture too, your best bet would be to pursue visual arts or something related and then get a M.Arch. Only 56 colleges offer architecture at the undergraduate level, and neither Chicago nor Northwestern is among them.</p>

<p>That list would be way more fun if it had crazy majors on there instead of listing the regular old majors the university doesn’t have.</p>
<p>Supposedly Rice is good for architecture. My cousin also graduated from DePaul and went to MIT for graduate architecture of some sort, and I don’t think DePaul offers architecture either. So you don’t really have to major in it for undergrad.</p>
<p>I would suggest Notre Dame for architecture if you don’t mind the Catholic part of it. It has a really great problem which includes going overseas for an entire year to study with your class.</p>
