the path to your degree
bachelor of science in architecture The Bachelor of Science in Architecture is a 4.5-year pre-professional undergraduate degree that leads to an accelerated Master of Architecture degree, which can be earned at the BAC in 4 additional semesters. Our innovative approach to education integrates ongoing, real-world design practice with traditional classroom learning.
