Architecture Major
Requirements for the Architecture Major (Beginning with students who enter Wellesley College in Fall 2026)
The Architecture major consists of 11 units.
Courses required of all tracks:
- ARTH 109 Introduction to Art History and Visual Culture: Buildings and Landscapes
- ARTH 204 The Form of the City
All courses are 1.0 units unless otherwise noted.
Architecture Major Track 1: History, Theory, and Design
The History, Theory, and Design (HTD) track acquaints students with the major problems and ideas in architectural history and design. Students apply interdisciplinary methodologies, critical theories, and professional ethical codes to interpreting architcture and urban form. The track may be weighted towards architectural history, studio investigation, or a balance between the two. The track provides an opportunity for advanced studio work for students who plan to apply to graduate programs in architecture. Selected Course 4 (Architecture) courses at MIT may count toward the major. In addition to ARTH 109, one other 100-level ARTH course may be counted toward the major.
Required courses:
- ARTH 109 Introduction to Art History and Visual Culture: Buildings and Landscapes.
- There is no exemption from this requirement by Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate. Transfer credit will not be accepted to fulfill this requirement.
- ARTH 204 The Form of the City
- ARTH 228 Modern Architecture or ARTH 288 Nineteenth-Century Architecture and Urbanism
- ARTS 105 Drawing I
- ARTS 113 Three-Dimensional Design
In addition to the above: Three 200-level courses; Two 300-level courses; One additional course
Courses for Credit Toward the Architecture Major Track 1:
The following courses are recommended to students designing a program of study in the HTD track. Additional courses may be applicable and some courses are not offered yearly, so each student should develop her program of study in active consultation with her advisor.

Architecture Major Track 3: Land, Economics, and Power
Taking the interdependence of the built environment and capitalism in the US (and much of the world) as its point of departure, the Land, Economics, and Power (LEP) track integrates historical, theoretical, and quantitative methods to investigate architecture's relationships to economic and social structures and the earth. Courses from multiple programs and departments in the humanities focus on the histories and imagery of land and labor; in those on policy and economics students analyze architecture's connecctions to other structures of power. The track is intended especially for students considering graduate work in architectural history, geography, public policy, and real estate development. Selected Course 11 (Urban Studies and Planning) and Course 15 (Sloan School of Management) courses at MIT may count toward the major. In addition to ARTH 109, one other 100-level ARTH course may be counted toward the major.
Required courses:
- ARTH 109 Introduction to Art History and Visual Culture: Buildings and Landscapes
- ARTH 204 The Form of the City
- ARTH 243 Building an Empire: Roman Architecture as Cultural Heritage
- AMST 225/PEAC 227/SOC 225 Life in the Big City: Urban Studies and Policy
- ES 202 Environmental Justice: A Community-Centric Approach
In addition to the above: Three 200-level courses; Two 300-level courses; One additional course

Honors in Architecture
Departmental honors in Architecture is earned by the demonstration of excellence in both coursework and in a self-directed thesis. Students have a choice of pursuing a thesis project in history/theory or pursuing a studio-based project. In either case, the student will complete two units of independent study/thesis (ARCH 360/370) in the Fall and Spring of their senior year. Students interested in pursuing a senior thesis should refer to the requirements and guidelines posted on the Architecture major page of the Art Department website under "Thesis & Independent Study."
Requirements for the Architecture Major (for students who entered Wellesley College prior to Fall 2026)
The Architecture major consists of 11 units, which may be weighted toward architectural history or studio investigation.
The following courses are required:
- ARTH 100 or ARTH 109 or WRIT 107.
- There is no exemption from this requirement by Advanced Placement, or by International Baccalaureate, or by an exemption examination.
- ARTS 105 and ARTS 113
- ARTH 200 or ARTH 231 or ARTH 228 or ARTS 216
- Two additional intermediate courses in architectural history, studio art, or design (200 level)
- Two advanced courses in architectural history, studio art, or architectural design (300 level). At least one of these units must be taken in the Department of Art at Wellesley.
- Two additional courses related to architecture.
Learning Outcomes
Architecture majors will:
- acquire knowledge of the historical, political, economic, and cultural contexts that have shaped architecture and urban form across time and in diverse cultures and geographies.
- demonstrate an understanding of historically and geographically specific design and construction methods and building typologies.
- apply interdisciplinary methodologies, critical theories, and professional ethical codes to interpreting architecture and urban form.
- acquire first-hand experience of studio practice in architecture whether or not they intend to specialize in this aspect of the profession.
- develop the skills of visual, formal, material, and spatial analysis.
- conduct research in primary and secondary sources and be able to distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources.
- demonstrate mastery of this knowledge and these skills in persuasively argued and clearly written essays and presentations and in studio investigations.
Notes:
Courses in Sociology, Anthropology, Philosophy, and Women’s and Gender Studies may also apply. Consult your advisor. MIT and Olin College courses may also be applicable to the major. See Department of Art intranet website for recommended courses at Wellesley, MIT, and Olin.

Transfer Credit in Architecture
Although courses at MIT are not required for the major, the MIT-Wellesley exchange provides a unique opportunity for students to elect advanced courses in design and construction. Students are also encouraged to consider travel or international study as important aspects of their education in architecture. Normally, no more than three units of transfer credit—two units at the 200 level and one unit taken at MIT at the 300 level—may be applied toward the minimum requirements for the major.
