The University of New Mexico School of Architecture & Planning in Albuquerque offers two very different architecturally focused undergraduate degrees. The bachelor of arts program in environmental planning and design serves as a gateway to a graduate degree in either community and regional planning or landscape architecture. The course of study looks at the integration of human needs and natural systems to understand how to respond to shifting landscapes and environments, particularly in the Southwestern United States. The other undergraduate degree is a bachelor of arts in architecture, a pre-professional program leading into the two-year graduate program in the same subject. Its focus is the design process of architecture, implemented through studio work.

At the University of Nevada-Las Vegas' School of Architecture, students have four architecture programs from which to choose: a bachelor of science in architecture, a bachelor of science in interior architecture and design, the landscape architecture and planning bachelor's program and the master of architecture program. The first is a standard pre-professional program uniting ideas of science, art and technology to form an understanding of 21st century architecture. The interior architecture and design degree is tied to the architectural scene of Las Vegas and based largely on design studio work. In the landscape architecture program, students examine both man-made and natural elements of architecture, while the master's degree focuses on architecture as a career.
