The A.A.S. curriculum concentrates on the process involved in preparing a set of construction documents. While learning this process, students study construction details, mechanical systems, building codes, specifications, cost estimating procedures and building construction techniques.

A certificate in Architectural Technology is offered to those students who are interested in pursuing a related career in the building industry, such as architectural sales, where an Associate in Applied Science degree in Architectural Technology would not be necessary. Students may concentrate within the A.A.S. on Computer-Aided Design or Architectural Technology.

A certificate in Architectural CAD is also offered for those with previous architectural training or office experience and as an additional option to the Associate of Applied Science degree for those who are, or want to become, actively involved with Architectural CAD in an architectural or engineering office.

Students intending to earn a baccalaureate degree in architecture should consult the program chairperson for assistance in selecting courses appropriate for transfer to a senior institution.
