Gibbs College fosters a community where students and faculty collaborate with industry professionals, creating powerful networks that span the globe. Our alumni are leaders across architecture, design, construction, and planning, providing mentorship, career opportunities, and a network for students to tap into as they launch their careers.
At Gibbs College, hands-on learning is at the core of what we do. From designing innovative spaces to tackling real-world challenges, our students immerse themselves in experiential learning that prepares them for the demands of the built environment. Through internships, collaborative studio projects, and industry partnerships, you’ll gain the practical skills needed to thrive in your career.
At Gibbs College, our travel study programs immerse students in diverse communities around the world. By exploring new environments and working with local stakeholders, students gain hands-on experience in designing and building spaces that respond to social, cultural, and environmental challenges. These journeys foster a deeper connection to the global community and shape resilient, thoughtful professionals ready to lead in any space.
At Gibbs College, we carry forward the lessons of The American School—a radical approach that prioritizes creativity, resourcefulness, and a deep respect for context. Rooted in the visionary practices of Bruce Goff and Herb Greene, we continue to push boundaries and foster innovation in architectural design.
