It offers six distinct academic programs—Architecture, Design, Historic Preservation, Sustainable Real Estate Development, Social Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship, and Sustainable Urbanism and Landscape Architecture and Engineering—and provides both Bachelor and Master degree options. The school aims to develop leaders who can shape the built environment across disciplines and communities, focusing on addressing practical challenges through design and planning, with a student experience rooted in the city’s cultural context. Rooted in New Orleans, the program emphasizes rebuilding and resilience in response to natural and human-made challenges. The curriculum is complemented by hands-on learning through research and community-based initiatives, including the Albert and Tina Small Center for Collaborative Design and URBANbuild, which connect students with real-world design and construction projects to foster collaborative problem-solving and sustainable change.
