Additionally, the HCOA has a campus in El Paso, Texas, making the HCOA the only college of architecture with a permanent program on the US/Mexico border. The El Paso campus offers a B.S. in Architecture, border issues forming a fundamental aspect of that program, and M.S. program in Historic Preservation.
