Curriculum ARC.ARC.AAS (C248A)
The goal of the Architecture curriculum is to help students develop the critical thinking, technical and visual and verbal communication skills needed to be successful in this industry. Sustainability and real world professional practices are covered throughout the curriculum, and it is designed to provide students with the skills necessary to transfer to a four-year college or university or obtain an entry-level position in architecture or a related field.
PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Upon successful completion of the Associate in Applied Science Degree in Architecture program, the graduate will be able to:
- demonstrate proficiency in software programs used in professional practice;
- draw and analyze construction documents;
- understand various construction technologies and how they work together to create a building;
- interpret owners' needs based on project requirements and budgetary limitations and develop solutions to meet those needs;
- express themselves creatively by solving multifaceted design problems;
- know their responsibility as part of a design team, including the role architects play in creating environmental sustainability; and
- have the opportunity to advance in their career and continue professional development through four-year transfer programs.
