Description: The College of Architecture (CoA) at Texas Tech University in Lubbock has partnered with El Paso Community College (EPCC) to offer third- and fourth-year classes in El Paso to students who have completed their associate’s degree in architecture, resulting in a pre-professional bachelor of science degree. The classes are taught in facilities on the El Paso Community College campus. The CoA’s expansion in El Paso reinforces the desire for community-engaged architecture, culturally sensitive urban design, and culturally responsive planning, which demands sophisticated professionals that represent all the cultures that make up the community. El Paso’s largely Hispanic population aids the program in promoting a multicultural education for future architects in Texas. Those interested in attending the program should contact Texas Tech University in Lubbock.
