Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies - XR Game Environments

Thomas Jefferson University - INTO USA

The four-year Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies (BS) program allows students to focus on a field allied to the profession of architecture, customize their education and earn a pre-professional degree. After completing a foundation sequence of studio and technical courses in the first two years, common to the Bachelor of Architecture curriculum, students can choose to apply to the five-year architecture program, specialize in one of three tracks - Real Estate Development, Historic Preservation, or XR Game Environments - or explore various architecture-related disciplines from a broad array of available minors.
You will not only gain valuable skills and real-world experiences, but will also pave the way for a professional credential in one of our master's programs by taking graduate courses while still an undergraduate. Take part in collaborative projects, and fieldwork, and take advantage of opportunities to study abroad, and have professional internships. There is a wide variety of elective course offerings to create the degree that fits you.
Technology and representation have always been at the heart of architecture. In the past few decades architecture has been at the forefront of 3D digital modeling, and now finds itself poised to transition into new dimensions of digital and physical spaces. Where previously the digital divide separated VR (virtual reality environments) from IRL (in-real-life analogs), XR (extended reality) technology questions the gaps and connects new bridges between new technology and new practices of spatial design exploration, tool sets, and delivery.
