The B.S. in Architecture provides a sound basis for the pursuit of general knowledge and the first phase of a professional education for the general practice of architecture. The four-year program encompasses a foundation core of design, introductory studies in architectural history and theory, and building technology. Advanced design studios address methodology, and technological and theoretical synthesis through applied studies of a wide range of design inquiries and projects. Successful completion of the degree will prepare students to enter the profession at a more advanced level or pursue a graduate degree from an NAAB-accredited school of architecture. Graduates with the baccalaureate degree are qualified for entry-level positions such as designer or engineering technician. They may be employed in architectural offices, engineering offices, corporations or businesses which produce their own in-house construction documents, and construction-related fields.
