Come learn with us in Newbern! First, you must enroll in the Architecture Program at Auburn University. You can apply to participate in Rural Studio during your 3rd year and 5th year of the five-year undergraduate Bachelor of Architecture program.
In Hale County, living is learning, and we’ve learned a lot by living and working here for three decades. Rural Studio’s learning methods are deeply rooted in this corner of the world. Our students receive an education that’s as real as the people we serve.
When you enroll in the program, you commit to the place, to the people, and to the process. Studying here means living in a remote area where the summers are sweaty, the winters are muddy, and the cell service is spotty. When you study with us, you don’t just learn how to design and build, you learn to listen, work like a team, and make a difference in your own community.
