If you have been considering a career in design, the summer Design Exploration Program, hosted by UF's School of Architecture can help you make an informed decision regarding architecture as an education and career. DEP explores the various aspects of architecture including design, history, theory and practice. This three week program is open to interested high school students who are at least 16 years of age and have completed their freshman year in high school.

DEP provides its participants with firsthand experience and personal insight into the challenges of architecture as a career. We offer interested individuals with previous design as well as creative newcomers - a unique opportunity to explore their own potential for a rewarding future in the design and building professions.
