Students will have access to all the technology they need complete program assignments, but having a personal computer is suggested. If you don’t have a computer, or don’t want to bring yours, we have computer labs available on campus.
Platforms we may use include WUSTL Box to share files, Adobe Creative Cloud, etc. All of these tools will be accessible using an individualized WUSTL Key login students will get once they’ve completed registration for our program. Adobe Creative Cloud Suite is used for digital editing of photos and drawings.

Materials for both the Architecture Discovery Program and Portfolio Plus Program are included in the cost of tuition. Materials will be provided to each student at the start of the program.
We have field trips and lectures throughout the program, particularly on weekends. We looking forward to sharing some of the most unique things about WashU and St. Louis with you. You will also meet some of our other Sam Fox School faculty, visit artist studios and architecture firms, hear directly from artists and designers about the profession.
We will be offering a few activities throughout the program to introduce students to life at Washington University. The Sam Fox School Admissions Counselor will host a session on portfolio preparation and documentation.
