The College of Architecture at Texas A&M University is one of the largest colleges of its kind in the United States. More than 150 faculty members in the Departments of Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning, and Construction Science serve over 3,000 students (more than 2,500 undergraduate and 500 graduate students) across 14 degree programs. These programs encompass the full spectrum of disciplines related to the built environment.
Although the Bryan-College Station area has a population of more than 300,000, it maintains a small-town atmosphere and offers a high quality of life with a low cost of living. Located in the center of the Texas Triangle, the region is within driving distance of Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio, collectively home to more than 21 million people. The challenges facing Texas, including climate change, natural hazards, transportation, demographic shifts, and economic transformation-foreshadow many of the issues the nation will encounter in the coming decades, making the region an ideal laboratory for testing innovative approaches to urban and land development and management.
