Certificate in Architectural Acoustics


Swarthout hall at KU

The Certificate in Architectural Acoustics will be earned primarily by architecture and architectural engineering students who seek to further develop knowledge of room acoustics, architectural noise control, mechanical and electrical system noise control, and electro-acoustic systems.

Undergraduate Certificate in Architecture Acoustics

The Certificate in Architectural Acoustics will be earned primarily by architecture and architectural engineering students who have shown a major interest in this specialized field which relates to room acoustics, architectural noise control, mechanical and electrical system noise control, and electro-acoustic systems.

To receive the Certificate in Architectural Acoustics students must complete 12 hours from the courses listed below, including either ARCH 520 or ARCH 521 or ARCE 520.
