Meet the dean

The University of Arkansas’ School of Architecture offers several of the finest undergraduate professional design degrees in the South. International study, visits and presentations by leading national and international professionals and hands-on learning with award-winning professors give our students a broad perspective on design, while our small size generates a strong sense of “family.”

Thanks to outstanding programs in architecture and landscape architecture, our graduates have for many years enjoyed a 100% placement rate in professional offices and top notch graduate programs in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, historic preservation, interior design, construction management, teaching and other creative pursuits. We will help you define your interests and prepare you to excel in your chosen career.

We pride ourselves in being “student-centered” and “nationally competitive,” a pride empowered by a great teaching faculty and advising staff.  You will work very closely with your teachers throughout your education here and will develop lifelong mentorships and friendships with faculty, staff and classmates alike.  You will be challenged and inspired and will develop your creative abilities and your problem-solving skills, as well as your leadership skills, self-confidence and motivation toward lifelong learning. And in doing so, you will both have fun and develop a deep sense of satisfaction.

We appreciate your interest in the School of Architecture and trust that if you look closely at us, this is where you will want to begin your professional education.

Warm regards,

Jeff Shannon
Dean
