Degree of Pre-Architecture at Calvin College
Calvin College has almost thirty years experience offering a preparatory program in architecture analogous to Pre-Med and Pre-Law with graduates now practicing architecture throughout the United States and Canada.
“Calvin’s Pre – Architecture program provided a solid foundation for my graduate school work in architecture and for my career as an architect. The liberal arts component of my education is extremely valuable, even today, as the profession requires a diverse set of skills.” Jason S. Reiffer BA, Pre-Architecture, Calvin College, 1998. M Arch, University of Michigan, 2001.
“Among the many things I value from my time at Calvin, four come to mind: lasting friendships with Christian mentors and peers; participation in a community of faith; the capacity to think critically due to liberal arts studies, and Calvin’s emphasis on excellence in all endeavors. All of these have been invaluable in navigating the discipline of architecture as a unique combination of humanities, science and art. While the pre-architecture program per se honed many of the skills required to communicate well, (graphically, orally, and in writing), the liberal arts core and lasting relationships have been a solid foundation for subsequent acedemic and professional work.
