One of the most rewarding aspects of a career in architectural design or a related field – beyond the strong job prospects and good pay – is the joy of creating something from nothing. In the Department of Architecture and Interior Design, students learn to use the latest technologies and sustainable methods to conceive, design, construct and revitalize every aspect of the built environment. With outstanding faculty who are also full-time professionals and numerous transfer agreements with top four-year institutions, we’re proud to offer award-winning programs at an outstanding value. Most of all, we’re proud of the futures our students are designing, architecting and constructing for themselves.
