IOWA STATE'S ARCHITECTURE PROGRAM RECEIVES HIGH MARKS IN RANKINGS

AMES, Iowa -- Iowa State University's Department of Architecture has been ranked one of the best values for architecture education by the editors of DesignIntelligence, a monthly publication for leaders in design professions.

Iowa State's architecture program was fifth in the publication's ranking of 40 schools that have non-resident tuition of less than $19,999 per year. The rankings appear in the publication's current issue.

The DesignIntelligence rankings were based on a program's rating by practitioners; selectivity; culture and learning environment; technology, studios and library resources; reputation of the dean, faculty and students; and cost of tuition.

The publication also asked architecture firms to rank the academic programs in their own regions of the country. Architects in the Midwest ranked Iowa State's undergraduate architecture program number two in the region.
