Pre-Architecture Diploma (D40100-D1)
| Description | The Pre-Architecture Diploma is a one year program designed to prepare prospective students for an accredited, professional architecture education. The diploma will also equip the student with basic skills that can lead to employment in the field of architecture or one of the associated professions. Completion of this diploma will fulfill approximately 24 transferable credit hours of general education requirements. This will allow the student a high degree of focus on the major program area during the first two years of professional study in architecture. Additionally, the required Architectural Technology coursework will both aid the student in developing efficient work/study habits and serve as an introduction to the architecture profession. While not ensuring acceptance into any Bachelor of Architecture program, the Pre-Architecture Diploma will provide a vehicle for talented students to display ability and excellence in college level work. It will also provide an opportunity to build an artistic portfolio which is required for acceptance to most accredited professional architecture programs. |
| Award | The Pre-Architecture Diploma is awarded by the College upon completion of this program. |
| Notes | Careful planning should allow the student to complete the diploma in three full-time semesters or six to seven part-time semesters. |
| Additional Information | The Pre-Architecture Diploma is designed for students considering an architectural education, talented students needing to display academic competency prior to applying to an accredited architecture program, and students wishing to work within the architecture profession before applying to an accredited architecture program. |
