Architecture + Design Summer Academy

ADSA 2024

This summer, the School of Architecture + Planning presents the Architecture + Design Summer Academy, a new program designed to introduce High School Juniors and Seniors to the disciplines in which the SA+P offers degrees and certificates, preparing them for application to our undergraduate programs.

Session 1:  at New Mexico School for the Arts, in Santa Fe
(non-credit option):  June 10 - June 22, 2024
(credit option):  June 10 - June 28, 2024

Session 2: at George Pearl Hall, UNM campus, in Albuquerque
(non-credit option): July 8 - July 19, 2024
(credit option): July 8 - July 26, 2024


Every week, students will meet Monday-Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm (no overnight stays), with the exception of week 2 in Santa Fe. This week begins June 17 (Monday), does not meet on June 19 (Wednesday), and ends June 22 (Saturday). 

 

Credit Options: 

"Non-credit" means that students will fully participate in the summer program but will not receive high school or university credit. Students will not have homework.

"Dual credit" means that students will receive 3 credits of UNM credit as the School of Architecture and Planning course ARCH 1125 Design Fundamentals and typically 1 credit of high school credit for participating high schools (click here for a list of participating high schools and all the dual credit classes offered at UNM: https://advisement.unm.edu/dual-credit/master-agreements.html). UNM tuition is waived for dual credit students, so the only cost for this program is our program cost of $300 + materials. Dual credit students will have homework, be expected to purchase some scale model making materials, and their assignments will be slightly different from non-credit students. Dual credit students must also apply for dual credit here: https://advisement.unm.edu/dual-credit/admissions-process.html between April 1 and May 6, 2024.

"UNM credit" means that UNM students can also register for either the Santa Fe or Albuquerque three-week long sessions and receive 3 credit hours as Arch 1125 Design Fundamentals. Instructor permission is required to enroll; please email adsa@unm.edu.

Students can register for "credit" sessions as "non-credit" status if they would like to participate in the longer program.
