Benedictine College offers Summer Intensive in Classical Architecture 

The Benedictine College Architecture Program is excited to offer an Intensive in Classical Architecture for a range of young adults: from current and graduating high school students to students who may have completed a year of college and are discerning the architecture major. Under the personal instruction of the Program Director and architecture majors, students will have the opportunity to experience the energy of a program that studies the ‘languages’ of timeless expressions of architecture that provide the paradigmatic forms of reading the greatest buildings of the past and present. Students will observe the time-honored intersection of architecture and the Transcendentals (such as Truth, Goodness, and Beauty) in a rigorous program that aims to open their eyes and minds to the future challenges of architecture school.
