Architectural Design

Our interdisciplinary design-build program includes coursework in Architectural Design, Interior Design, and Construction Management. We specialize in teaching you the skills necessary to be employable within a year so you can “Earn while you learn”.

With small faculty to student ratios…
“The good news: The teacher knows your name. The bad news: The teacher knows your name.”

Come learn the architectural design process to "Dream It, Design It, and Build It". Our program engages students with hands-on model building, materials & methods labs, field trips, tours, guest speakers, 3D modeling/scanning/printing, and optional study abroad trips.

On your journey you can also work towards certification or licensure as a Certified Professional Building Designer or Architect.

Mission Statement:
To empower aspiring architects and designers with the knowledge, skills, and creativity to design and build a better future.
