NewSchool of Architecture and Design

NewSchool of Architecture and Design was founded by the late Richard Welsh in Chula Vista, California, in 1980. Dick's vision was to bring education in architecture to the San Diego region leading to a Bachelor of Architecture professional degree. After more than twenty-three (23) years of academic and institutional success and accomplishment, NewSchool of Architecture and Design has evolved into a rich set of professional and non-professional programs and curricula in architectural and design education.

In addition to the B.Arch. Degree, an Associate of Arts Degree was added in 1990, a first professional Master of Architecture in 1994, a non-professional Master of Science in Architecture in 1996. The Executive Masters Degree for licensed practitioners completed the current set of degree offerings in 2001.

NewSchool of Architecture and Design has been institutionally accredited since 1991, allowing for federal financial aid programs to be available to those students that qualify. The B.Arch. program has been accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) since 1998.

>From beginning, NewSchool of Architecture and Design has been a school based on the concept of architectural internship. This format has responded to the need for many students to work and go to school at the same time. It has also allowed for people in mid-career to change professions by going to school while maintaining their current occupation. Practicing professional architects and designers teach classes at NewSchool of Architecture and Design allowing students to reap the benefits of having professional adjunct practictioners as experienced instructors in design, technology, and other disciplines.
