The Architectural Design (BS) program prepares graduates to enter careers in the architectural design of the built environment. Graduates are prepared for careers in the architectural design and have the abilities to produce and utilize basic construction documents and to perform basic analysis and design of system components. Baccalaureate degree graduates will have the technical and managerial skills necessary for careers in which they will analyze and design systems, specify project methods and materials, perform cost estimates and analyses, and manage technical activities in support of architectural design projects.
The Architectural Design program will allow students to prepare for job opportunities working for residential design firms and builders, commercial architectural design firms and contractors; trade contractors and engineering firms such as mechanical, electrical, and plumbing; civil engineering firms; and various other firms related to the construction of the built environment. It provides an alternative pathway for those interested in continuing their graduate education in various disciplines relating to the built environment.
