The Architectural Technology program provides instruction in the concepts and skills required for careers in architectural and related professions. Areas of study develop skills necessary for the preparation of construction documents from schematic design approval into design development, contract documents, and contract administration phases for the built environment. Emphasis is placed on quality graphic communication. Graduates are prepared to find employment in architectural and related professions including positions in computer and board drafting, estimating, construction management, plan code review, building inspection, graphics, specification writing, urban planning, contracting, sub-contracting, building material sales and management.
