BSc in (Architectural Engineering) in Wichita United States | University of Kansas

Architectural engineering focuses on designing and implementing technical systems for various building types, including commercial, industrial, institutional, and large-scale residential projects. These engineered systems encompass electrical infrastructure, communication networks, lighting and sound solutions, HVAC systems, safety measures, structural components, and sustainable building practices.

The University of Kansas offers an intensive ABET-accredited architectural engineering program culminating in a Bachelor of Science degree (BS ARCE). This four-year curriculum is jointly overseen by KU's School of Engineering and School of Architecture & Design, allowing students to utilize resources from both institutions, such as financial aid opportunities, specialized courses, research facilities, student groups, and academic libraries.

For those interested in both architecture and engineering, KU provides a unique six-year dual degree pathway combining the BS ARCE with a NAAB-accredited Master of Architecture (M ARCH), requiring summer coursework. This interdisciplinary approach is facilitated by shared coursework in architectural design and building technologies, along with KU's strong collaboration between engineering and architecture departments. The architectural engineering program demands significant dedication, with students typically devoting most of their time to academic and studio work, but leads to highly satisfying professional opportunities after graduation.
