Given an Editor's Choice Award for "Best Quality" in
early college programs by Early College
Programs (edited by Robert Hydrisko, Nautilus, 2002), the School
of Architecture's Career Discovery in Architecture is one of the top
programs in the U.S. for high school sophomores, juniors and seniors who want to learn about studying architecture before they get to college.
Geared toward those who are considering or who have
already enrolled in an architecture program, 2008 Career Discovery will be held Sunday, June 15 - Friday, June 27 at the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture.
Participants not only learn architectural history but also the skills
and responsibilities required in contemporary architecture practice.
During the 13-day program, students participate in design studios, architecture
seminars and field trips to see good architecture first hand.
Led by Notre Dame architecture professors and advanced students, participants have an opportunity to experience student life at Notre Dame. Participants live in dorms, eat in the dining hall and play on the quads. The program is structured with social and athletic activities in order for participants to get the most from their Notre Dame experience.
Career Discovery is intended to help participants decide whether or not they want to pursue architecture in college, and if so, how they should prepare during their junior and senior years of high school. If they come committed to the field, Career Discovery will introduce them to studying architecture at the college level, giving them a jump start over those entering the major their freshman year of college.
