University of Utah Reviews of Master's in Architecture

"I highly recommend NOT attending the University of Utah's College of Architecture and Planning program. It is a complete mess and the only consistent thing about the college is that it is consistently inconsistent. Do to their lack of organization we have retaken several classes primarily their Building Tech class and Professional Practice class. They are very unsure of what to teach us and very little of what they have taught us is applicable to the real world. They pride themselves on their Design Build programs for their grad student but they are in complete shambles. Design Build Salt Lake has completely tanked and no longer exists. Design Build Bluff exists but is unorganized. For all their grad students who enrolled for Design Build Salt Lake, they have them designing and fabricating pendant lights, chairs, and an outhouse for Bluff. They had lied to us about Design Build Salt Lake, stating that we would be building an ADU for the homeless only to discover 2/3 of they way through our first semester of grad school that Design Build Salt Lake no longer existed. They new Design Build Salt Lake would no longer exist yet they lied to us all in hope that we would apply to their program. There has also been overwhelming evidence of mishandling of funds, and when they overcharged us for a semester and we complained about it they quickly edit the total course credit hours for the semester from 12 to 16. It wasn't even 12 credit hours."

"The architecture program at the University of Utah has been a great opportunity. As students we have the opportunity to learn so much as long as we invest the time and effort. I know that I have increased my knowledge through education and I look forward to the future where I can apply that knowledge to be an influence in the profession. Definitely a quality education at a quality school."

"Great student life and quality education. Not as expensive as other schools. Overall a good experience"

"The pros: - Professors and Chair are very approachable and are invested in the students success - The financial support is very helpful - Campus is beautiful - Students are supportive and helpful Cons - A little difficult to navigate the Master Program trajectory - Architecture recourses,ex printers + computers are not very reliable -"

"Great Architecture program that is still growing and progressing each year. Some great professors that have broadened my understanding of architecture and taught me so much. I would highly recommend the program to anyone. It definitely stretches your limits of what you thought you could achieve. Great school!"

"I love the program and all the professors. It's a great school!"
