The University of Miami School of Architecture (U-SoA), based in Coral Gables, offers undergraduate, graduate, and post-professional programs that prepare students for careers in architecture and related fields such as urban resilience, healthcare design, historic preservation, and real estate development. Internationally recognized as the birthplace of The New Urbanism, led by former Dean Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, U-SoA pioneered sustainable, community-based approaches to urban growth that continue to influence cities worldwide. Under Dean Rodolphe el-Khoury, the school advances a vision that unites tradition with innovation, emphasizing interdisciplinary research, emerging technologies, and solutions to environmental challenges.
