A Master’s of Science in Space Architecture was approved by the Board of Regents during their meeting in the Student Center South ballroom on Thursday.
UH will draw upon resources and curricula that is already established through existing degree programs and is going to “compliment and reinforce programs (that) are already successful,” according to the program description given to the Regents.
The program, which is currently located in the Hines College of Architecture, will be moved to the Cullen College of Engineering and is expected to have around 84 students enrolled in the program within the next five years.
The addition of the program is meant to “compliment” existing programs that are already in place and will open up avenues for collaboration between the University and NASA.
