ARCHITECTURE: COMMUNITY EQUITY DESIGN
The Stackable Graduate Certificate in Architecture: Community Equity Design accommodates a growing interest in Community Equity Design among designers and diverse professionals to develop tools that can engage and foster design as a collaborative effort grounded in public interest design methodologies. As a result, students will not only become experts in Community Equity Design, they will become better equipped to address the world’s most pressing concerns regarding social, economic, and environmental issues of the built environment.
The stackable graduate certificate is open to any UT Austin degree-seeking graduate student and requires three classes (nine credit hours), including ARC 389 Research in Architecture, an individual instruction course. As part of the required ARC 389 Research in Architecture individual instruction course, students will be asked to engage in an off-campus design-research problem, working directly with an approved stakeholder in the region.
