The program is the result of a concerted effort by members of Orlando&#8217;s professional architecture community, who felt that a professional degree program in Orlando was necessary to improve the quality of aspirant architects working in Orlando. To accomplish their goal to make it possible for students to achieve a professional degree without leaving the Orlando region, the professional community worked with Valencia College, UCF, and UF to create a 2 + 2 + 2 program. Students following this program earn an associate degree in architecture at Valencia College, a Bachelor of Design in architecture at UCF, and the Advance Master of Architecture degree at UF&#8217;s from CityLab-Orlando. Since the founding of the program, CityLab-Orlando has expanded its degree offerings and now attracts talented students from around the world to Orlando to study and join a range of design-focused careers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-a4bad955\"><h1 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong><span style=\"color: #FA4616\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">2 + 2 + 2<br>Valencia + UCF + UF<\/span><\/strong><\/h1><p class=\"uagb-desc-text\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">A path leading to the NAAB accredited UF Advanced Master of Architecture Degree<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p> <br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-accordion ugb-accordion ugb-d81ccde ugb-accordion--v2 ugb-accordion--design-basic ugb-accordion--single-open ugb-main-block ugb--has-custom-content-width\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><style>.ugb-d81ccde .ugb-accordion__heading{border-radius:10px !important;background-color:rgba(108,154,195,0.4) !important;padding-top:5px !important;padding-right:5px !important;padding-bottom:5px !important;padding-left:5px !important}.ugb-d81ccde .ugb-accordion__heading:before{background-color:#6C9AC3 !important}.ugb-d81ccde .ugb-accordion__title{color:#FA4616}.ugb-d81ccde .ugb-accordion__arrow{fill:#ffffff}.ugb-d81ccde .ugb-inner-block{text-align:left}.ugb-d81ccde.ugb-accordion{opacity:1 !important}.ugb-d81ccde.ugb-accordion > .ugb-inner-block{max-width:2500px !important}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-d81ccde.ugb-accordion{margin-top:-80px !important;margin-bottom:-19px !important;margin-right:-140px !important;margin-left:30px !important}}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-accordion__item\"><div class=\"ugb-accordion__heading ugb--shadow-4\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"><h3 class=\"ugb-accordion__title\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Mission<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\" class=\"ugb-accordion__arrow\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\"><path d=\"M16.7 3.3L10 10 3.3 3.4 0 6.7l10 10v-.1l10-9.9z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"ugb-accordion__content\" role=\"region\"><div class=\"ugb-accordion__content-inner\">\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-e2e3eb30cae94405db34c0ef292b4a3f\">UF CityLab-Orlando\u2019s mission is to increase access to University of Florida Graduate School of Architecture design education, provide a location for interdisciplinary knowledge creation and collaboration, and develop strong connections to the professional community.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-accordion ugb-accordion ugb-e334897 ugb-accordion--v2 ugb-accordion--design-basic ugb-accordion--single-open ugb-main-block\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><style>.ugb-e334897 .ugb-accordion__heading{border-radius:10px !important;background-color:rgba(108,154,195,0.4) !important;padding-top:5px !important;padding-right:5px !important;padding-bottom:5px !important;padding-left:5px !important}.ugb-e334897 .ugb-accordion__heading:before{background-color:#6C9AC3 !important}.ugb-e334897 .ugb-accordion__title{color:#FA4616}.ugb-e334897 .ugb-accordion__arrow{fill:#ffffff}.ugb-e334897.ugb-accordion{opacity:1 !important}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-e334897.ugb-accordion{margin-top:40px !important;margin-bottom:-19px !important;margin-right:-140px !important;margin-left:30px !important}}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-accordion__item\"><div class=\"ugb-accordion__heading ugb--shadow-4\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"><h3 class=\"ugb-accordion__title\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Focus Areas<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\" class=\"ugb-accordion__arrow\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\"><path d=\"M16.7 3.3L10 10 3.3 3.4 0 6.7l10 10v-.1l10-9.9z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"ugb-accordion__content\" role=\"region\"><div class=\"ugb-accordion__content-inner\">\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-aa9cb565c993cee9b32e56f9c98e8832\"><strong>Urban Architecture and its Context<\/strong><br>As an outpost of the University of Florida, CityLab-Orlando projects UF\u2019s mission into the central Florida region by creating graduates who lead and influence the field of architecture, recreating the city one building at a time, for future generations economic, cultural, and societal benefit.

So began the 2+2+2 program, an informal agreement that created the first accredited architectural program in Orlando, consisting of&nbsp; Valencia College\u2019s established 2-year pre-architecture program,&nbsp; followed by year\u2019s three and four of a Bachelor of Design in&nbsp; Architecture at UCF\u2019s Valencia&nbsp; West Campus program and finally culminating in the&nbsp; Advanced Master of Architecture degree at CityLab-Orlando.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-accordion ugb-accordion ugb-51e51bd ugb-accordion--v2 ugb-accordion--design-basic ugb-accordion--single-open ugb-main-block\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><style>.ugb-51e51bd .ugb-accordion__heading{border-radius:10px !important;background-color:rgba(108,154,195,0.4) !important;padding-top:5px !important;padding-right:5px !important;padding-bottom:5px !important;padding-left:5px !important}.ugb-51e51bd .ugb-accordion__heading:before{background-color:#6C9AC3 !important}.ugb-51e51bd .ugb-accordion__title{color:#FA4616}.ugb-51e51bd .ugb-accordion__arrow{fill:#ffffff}.ugb-51e51bd.ugb-accordion{opacity:1 !important}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-51e51bd.ugb-accordion{margin-top:40px !important;margin-bottom:-19px !important;margin-right:-140px !important;margin-left:30px !important}}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-accordion__item\"><div class=\"ugb-accordion__heading\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"><h3 class=\"ugb-accordion__title\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Why CityLab-Orlando<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\" class=\"ugb-accordion__arrow\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\"><path d=\"M16.7 3.3L10 10 3.3 3.4 0 6.7l10 10v-.1l10-9.9z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"ugb-accordion__content\" role=\"region\"><div class=\"ugb-accordion__content-inner\">\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-6a67b876bdec47f74c05061164768b79\">Today CityLab offers both the Core and Advanced Master of Architecture, the Master of Science in Architectural Studies concentration in Themed Environment Integration, and planned programs, and a&nbsp;Graduate Certificate in Themed&nbsp;Environments Integration, with a&nbsp;total of eighty students enrolled, sixty-two in the M.Arch. programs and eighteen in the TEI programs.
