The department began as the School of Architecture on July 1, 1968. The School of
Architecture prided itself on its innovation and community service and had the
support of the American Institute of Architecture as well as several Wisconsin state
architectural institutions ( An Institutional Profile of the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee , 1969, p. 19). Within the next decade
the school had established a master's program and had moved onto the main UWM
campus. In 1974, the Department of Urban Planning was established and combined with
the School of Architecture to create the School of Architecture and Urban Planning
(SARUP).
Simultaneously, UWM's Faculty Senate voted to create a new Department of
Architecture within SARUP, from which the records in this collection originate.
SARUP currently consists of two major departments: the Department of
Architecture--which provides a bachelor's degree, master's degree, and a doctoral
degree--and the Department of Urban Planning--which provides a master's degree. The
school also offers a coordinated master's degree in Architecture and Urban Planning.
In 2013, the Department of Architecture received approval for a second master's
degree, an M.S. in Architecture.
