Our Executive Master programs enable practicing professionals to pursue graduate degrees through a hybrid format combining intensive campus residency with online learning and field studies.
The nationally-ranked programs in Auburn University’s School of Industrial and Graphic Design (SIGD) are characterized by long-standing collaboration with industry and community. Students in sponsored studios develop and research projects in collaboration with, and supported by, industry and other outside organizations. Over the past 25 years, SIGD students have had the opportunity to participate in studios sponsored by organizations that include NASA, Coca-Cola, IBM, Smucker’s and the Alabama Bicentennial Commission.
Sponsored studios offer students the chance to gain knowledge from conversations and formal design reviews with industry professionals. These experiences prepare students for professional practice by replicating the relationship between design teams and manufacturers. In some cases, studio sponsors may integrate students’ design ideas into product development or marketing strategies.
Rural Studio®is an off-campus design-build program, rooted in Hale County and part of the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture of Auburn University. Our core mission is the education of our students, coupled with research on sustainable, healthful rural living through both housing and the vital systems we foster to ensure our communities thrive. We are committed to cultivating students who are both local architects and citizens of the world.
Auburn University’s Center for Architecture and Urban Studies—the Urban Studio—is a teaching and outreach program of Auburn’s College of Architecture, Design and Construction. Students are immersed in the extraordinarily rich “laboratory” of downtown Birmingham where their work includes professional seminars and studio design projects that typically focus on community development and urban planning.
McWhorter School of Building Science students have the opportunity to participate in national and international competition teams throughout the year, led by faculty in Auburn’s Building Science program.
Hands-on learning and service projects associated with the McWhorter School of Building Science date back over 25 years. In recent years, the addition of the Alison & Jim Gorrie Service Learning Gift and the establishment of the BSCI Robins & Morton Field Lab have allowed Building Science to add classes that are dedicated to service learning. These service learning classes allow students to participate in local service projects (Auburn/Opelika/Lee County), disaster relief in the Southeast and international service-learning classes (Quito, Ecuador).
