Architectural education is unlike any type of education you’ve likely encountered to date. We highly encourage you to attend one of our architecture-specific information sessions online or in-person.
In-person Campus visits
General Weekday Campus Visits
The School of Architecture hosts in-person, architecture-specific information sessions on Mondays and Fridays at 11:00 a.m. ET. These sessions include a program overview and a guided tour of our facilities. We encourage you to join as part of the comprehensive “Campus Visit” offered by the Syracuse University Office of Admissions. To learn more and register, click here. When signing up, you can choose a school or college information session, with our 11:00 a.m. sessions listed at the bottom of the form.
Architectural education is unlike any type of education you’ve likely experienced to date. The design studio sequence is at the core of our program. We highly recommend you meet us when studios are in session to learn more about life at SU and the architecture studio experience.
For this reason, we do not participate in Syracuse Saturdays. If you choose to visit on a Saturday, or if you take a self-guided tour, we strongly encourage you to attend an online information session and learn about our program and the portfolio requirements.
International Visits - Asia
Representatives from our school will be in Asia this October. You are invited to meet Fei Wang, director of China programs, M.S. program coordinator and associate teaching professor; and Vittoria Buccina, Assistant Dean of Enrollment Management to learn more about our programs.

Available Information Sessions:
Optional Virtual Portfolio Interview
This optional interview is an opportunity for you to meet with our architecture admissions team and provide us with insight as to why you are interested in studying architecture, describe the portfolio work that you chose to include, and your interest in studying at our prestigious institution. This is not a critique of your work.
For more information and to register for a time slot, visit our Portfolio Requirements page.
