Undergraduate Programs
Graduate Programs
K-12 Workshops
The CADC hosts middle school and high school groups for on-campus visits to explore fields related to Architecture, Design or Construction through workshop experiences. We work with teachers to create a field trip itinerary that fits within their class curriculum, including at least one workshop experience, an on campus lunch paid for by the CADC, and an opportunity to see college facilities both in Auburn on campus facilities and in our Auburn in Birmingham Building.
Workshop experiences provide students with an idea of how we approach projects and problem solving in our majors. Based on the preference of the teacher, we can complete workshops in the fields of Architecture, Building Science, Environmental Design, Graphic Design, Industrial Design or Landscape Architecture.
High School and Middle School teachers and administrators: To learn more and schedule a workshop experience for a group of students email our Recruitment and Scholarship Manager, Katherine Buck Chastain at kmb0023@auburn.edu.
Professional Fees
The CADC charges a professional fee to partially defray the difference between state funding and tuition, and the actual costs of our professional programs. Within each program, a professional fee charge of $2,160 is tied to enrollment in specific trigger courses. During semesters when students are enrolled in these classes they will be charged the professional fee.
Through the professional fees, the CADC continues to provide our students with rigorous and relevant academic experiences, which contribute to our programs being recognized as among the best in the nation.
