AA/AS in Architectural Sciences and Technology

This two-year course of study lays a base for exploring both architectural design and building construction. Students learn technical drawing and several computer-aided design programs from working professionals in the region. Throughout the program they assemble a body of design projects. That portfolio is meant to support applications to two regional schools of architecture and building, the state university and the Boston Architectural College and to help with job placement. Classes meet during the day and in the evening. Graduates hold an associate degree in science and can move toward further study or entry-level positions in design and construction. Students planning their studies should consult the admissions and advising staff about entry steps, start terms and current costs, none of which this page lists. Advisors can also explain how the credits might apply toward further education or employment, and which courses to take first.
