ARCHITECTURE & ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN ASSOCIATE OF ARTS DEGREE A.A. Degree Major
To graduate with a specialization in Architectural Design
Studies, a student must complete the following courses in
addition to the general breadth requirements for an
Associate’s Degree. For transfer students, these courses
will provide students with the tools needed to construct a
portfolio that will be required to transfer into Architecture
Programs at 4-year institutions. Along with a successful
portfolio, these courses should also constitute the first two
years of an Architecture Program. In addition, these
courses should help students interested in transferring to
4-year institutions as Environmental Design, Landscape
Architecture, Interior Design and Urban Planning majors.
