• The Architectural Design major seeks to integrate engineering and architecture in ways that blend innovative architectural design with cutting-edge engineering technologies.

• Combining hands-on architectural design studios with a wide variety of courses, students can choose from a broad mix of elective courses concerning energy conservation, sustainability, building systems, structures, along with design foundation and fine arts courses.

• In addition to preparing students for advanced studies in architecture and construction management, the program's strong math and science requirements prepare students well for graduate work in other fields such as civil and environmental engineering, law and business. The major provides a background for individuals wanting to explore a diversity of careers in architecture, engineering, construction and structures.

• This undergraduate major grants a degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a specialization in Architectural Design. This engineering major is not an ABET-accredited engineering degree, nor is it designed to lead directly to professional licensure in architecture. To become a professional architect or engineer, additional graduate training is required.

斯坦福大学强调的是技术和环境的挑战，追求的是一种通过团队合作与技术创新解决问题的精神。了解这两点，对症下药，申请这所大学，就应该不是特别困难的了。

• Our world faces enormous challenges. Given these challenges of environmental and climatic change, population growth, and housing and infrastructure needs across the globe, the importance and potential of architecture have never been greater. Further, architecture’s engagement with its potential is dependent, now more than ever, on a broader sense of “environment,” a collaborative approach, attention to concept and detail, and an adept and nimble use of technology.

• The Stanford Architectural Design Program leverages the culture of innovation at Stanford, and in the Bay Area, in a multi-disciplinary brand of architectural education that fosters graduates who tackle the broad range of architectural and environmental challenges before us as inventive and environmentally responsible architects, creative and collaborative problem solvers, and active leaders, intellectually and aesthetically, in design and practice.

姐姐去年没有申请这所大学，因为没有她所喜欢的专业。妹妹今年想试一试，因为在全美大学校园中，斯坦福和普林斯顿，是我最欣赏的两所。普林斯顿，姐姐从来就没有看得上。妹妹最近也说没有她所欣赏的专业，越看越不中用，尚不在考虑之列。有人说杜克大学也很美，可是没有去过，而且这所大学的实验室，屡屡以丑闻见报，就不在姐姐和妹妹的考量之内了。
