ARCHITECTURE

Extended Degree - Associate in Applied Science (ACH.AASX)

The Architecture degree is an Associate in Applied Science and is designated as an extended degree program in that the student must complete a minimum of 73 or more credit hours.

The Architecture program is designed to prepare students to work in architecture and related fields. The courses offered through this program will provide graduates with knowledge of construction methods and the ability to design small to medium scale residential and commercial projects. Upon completion, students will earn an Associate in Applied Science Extended Degree and could be employed in entry-level positions in the architectural and construction industries. Those pursuing further studies in architecture can utilize the Associate Degree toward transferring to a bachelor program in architecture at the university level. Students intending to pursue further studies in architecture should make direct contact with the university architecture programs for transfer guidance.
