The Cooper Union’s Introduction to Architecture Online: Foundation Studies & Portfolio Development program is an intensive, full-time course of study that introduces students to the discipline of architecture. Rooted in the unique studio ethic that has shaped the School of Architecture for over thirty years, the program offers rigorous foundation studies, guided portfolio development, and an introduction to the history and practice of architecture. Students work closely with faculty and peers in a supportive, exploratory online environment, developing skills that strengthen future applications to schools of architecture, art, and design. Admissions are on a rolling basis; early application is strongly encouraged.
