High School Summer Architecture Program

Build a career in architecture.

At the NSLC on Architecture, you’ll take your building from draft to development as you learn essential skills and explore modern architecture and structural history.

It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I got to meet so many new people that completely changed my perception of the world.
