Innovations:
The intentions of the program for every student are summarized as follows: to stimulate artistic sensitivity, creative power, and personal self-confidence; to strengthen intellectual ability as it is applied to the making of solutions to architectural problems; to acquire the technical skills needed for the practice of architecture and the related design fields.

Architecture of the present operates in a fast-changing and complex milieu. The emergence of computer technology, and the rapid-paced evolution in building construction techniques, imposes tremendous pressures on design philosophy as it is taught in an academic setting. Vast changes in the makeup of contemporary human society, such as the disintegration of social, geographic, and communication barriers, impose additional pressures. Prescriptive philosophies embraced by architectural schools in the last century are being questioned for their relevance and effectiveness in the new one. In response to this, the School of Architecture and Design at NYIT takes the position that each student must develop his or her own approach to design.

Notes:
– Graduate program totals three terms
– Applicants for B.Arch. program are internal bachelor's degree candidates
– 4 visiting professors are considered full-time faculty members
