The American School of Architecture prepares designers to balance creativity and innovation with resourcefulness and pragmatism, drawing on Oklahoma’s cultural heritage and natural landscape while addressing the realities of climate change. Through research, creative practice, and a full spectrum of undergraduate and graduate programs we foster visionary yet practical design approaches and a collaborative learning environment where ideas move seamlessly between the classroom, the studio, and the communities we serve.

 The faculty and staff are committed to helping students explore their own academic interests, supporting them through research and award applications, and helping them find financial aid and employment opportunities. 


Khoi Nguyen.

 There is a culture of experimentation, no doubt a vestige of Bruce Goff, combined with a deep-seeded spirit of pragmatism … This tension is highly productive.
