About the 2+2+2 Program

Valencia College provides the foundation courses in the 2+2+2 Program.

Valencia's Architecture Degree Pathway facilitates the development of fundamental skills in drawing, model making, spatial analysis, and critical thinking. Graduates of the program earn an Associate in Arts Degree.

UCF School of Architecture provides the advanced undergraduate architecture courses in the 2+2+2 Program culminating in the Bachelor of Design in Architecture degree.

The two-year UCF advanced undergraduate curriculum focuses on design as a synthesis of thinking, analyzing, and making; an iterative process that engages issues of space, historical precedent, sustainability, ecology, urbanity, landscape, built-form, and construction toward innovation. This intermediate step in the 2+2+2 Program provides a convenient, affordable, and flexible way for students to complete their higher education studies in Central Florida.

U.F. Graduate School of Architecture at CityLab-Orlando provides graduate architecture courses in the 2+2+2 Program leading to the NAAB Accredited Master of Architecture degree.

Located in the heart of downtown Orlando, CityLab is the final step in the 2+2+2 Program. Students explore architectural ideas within the city's context and conclude their program by completing an individual Research Project or Thesis. The Program offers flexible degree tracks, year-round course offerings, industry marketable specializations, strong connections to the professional community, and is certified to offer the Integrated Path to Architectural Licensure (IPAL). Students completing all requirements of the IPAL program are eligible for licensure upon graduation.
