The Architectural Technology program provides a unique variety of experiences for students.
Architecture is the universal language through which people relate to their environment.
Computer technology has become the primary translator used for conveying this language through information retrieval, specification identification, structural and mechanical system development and building analysis and design. Career opportunities in architectural technology are expanding in response to suburban growth, urban renewal and industrial relocation. Students completing this program can look forward to positions in the areas of cost estimating, drafting for an architectural or construction firm, or coordinating construction. The program is also ideally suited for those currently involved in the construction trades, rehabbers or building owners. Returning students with unrelated baccalaureate degrees who wish to learn basic skills prior to entering master's degree programs in architecture will also find the necessary classes.
