Nationally and internationally recognized, our institution trains architects with a comprehensive grasp of design and construction: prioritizing sustainable approaches that serve communities through innovative, artistic solutions.
The Bachelor of Environmental Design Studies is a two-year degree requiring prior completion of two years of university education in another discipline. The curriculum covers design, humanities, technical studies, and professional development.
Students engage in both solo and team-based studio projects, mastering hands-on techniques like sketching, physical modeling, and construction before transitioning to digital counterparts.
The program's four-month co-op placement offers valuable real-world experience in architectural firms. These global opportunities span diverse aspects of the field, from conceptual drawings and scale models to digital design and on-site project oversight.
