We offer outstanding professional degree programs in architecture and landscape architecture, which are housed in Renaissance Hall and Klai Hall, two reclaimed and renovated buildings in downtown Fargo, made possible by the generosity of NDSU Alumni Doug Burgum and John Klai. Downtown Fargo has emerged as a supportive, student-oriented environment, that is generating excitement in the community. We invite you to explore our programs through our website, and we invite you to visit us.

Few of our students, under the leadership of Professors Mike Christenson and David Crutchfield, spent the Spring 2010 semester in Jaipur, India, at the Malaviya National Institute of Technology, one of the prominent National Institutes of Technology in India. The students studied the architecture and landscapes of the City of Jaipur, the stellar example of city planning according to the ancient Vastu Purusha Mandala and the Vastu Shastra of India. With Jaipur as a base, the students traveled to Delhi, Agra, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad and Pondicherry, among other destinations, to study the culture, architecture and landscapes of India. Please visit the TAP India web page for more information about this program. Also visit the TAP India Blog set up by students, documenting their experiences in India.
