This event placed Georgia Tech among the earliest public universities in the U. S. to offer an architecture degree.

The curriculum during the early years was closely allied with engineering, and the subject of construction was strongly emphasized.

By the 1930s, the influence of the Beaux-Arts, formerly a dominant force in architectural education nationally, had begun to decline as the sway of Bauhaus increased.

Originally located at the Ecole d'Architecture Paris Tolbiac and moved to the Ecole d'Architecture Paris la Villette, the Program provides for a full year of study for architecture students during their senior year of undergraduate study.
