  • Abstract
    At the University of Hartford, we are establishing an architectural program that integrates art, engineering and business with architecture. Architecture by its very nature is connected to other disciplines, however architectural education is often criticized for a lack of integration in the curriculum. By increasing the awareness of the interrelationship between different areas of study, we are attempting to strike a new and more effective balance. Resonating throughout the curriculum are the benefits of having an architectural program at an independent, comprehensive university that can provide educational programs in the liberal arts and professional disciplines for undergraduate and graduate students.
