BA/BS in Architectural Sciences and Technology

This concentration within Building Sciences prepares students to rethink homes, workplaces and neighborhoods in the roles of architect, designer, engineer or planner. Learners build a foundation in the built environment, construction processes and how buildings perform, then apply both analytical and synthetic thinking to open-ended design problems. The program emphasizes teamwork with fellow students, community partners and industry peers on issues ranging from local to national scale. The home department is Sustainable Technology and Built Environment, and teaching happens at Boone; no minor is needed. Prospective students can review undergraduate application dates, request information, and look up costs and aid from the program page. Transfer applicants may check how earlier credits count, and the university's general education program, career center and alumni network add support alongside the major.
