Programs of Study ARCHITECTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN The Bachelor of Science degree in Architecture and Environmental Design program (BSAED) draws on science, technology, humanities, and the arts to offer a broadranging and balanced education. Design studio courses are complemented by classes in history, theories of the built environment, and graphics, among others.

As a BSAED graduate, you’ll be well prepared for an entry-level position in architecture and environmental design. Our curriculum also prepares you to pursue a Master of Architecture degree, or to explore other areas of study including planning, landscape architecture, and social design. In fact, with our 3+2 Program, you can earn your Bachelor of Science in Architecture & Environmental Design, plus a Master of Architecture, City and Regional Planning, or Landscape Architecture, in just five years when you begin as an undergraduate.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

With a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management (BSCM), you’ll develop an understanding of the complexities of construction projects, the value of sustainable practices, and the ability to manage people in the field.

You’ll graduate well prepared to work in construction science in the areas of design and construction systems, construction graphics, surveying, methods and materials, as well as construction estimating, planning and scheduling, construction accounting and finance, project management, and safety procedures and practices.
