Architecture

Bachelors of Architecture

The Bachelor of Architecture (B-Arch) is a five-year professional degree designed to meet the National Architectural Accreditation board (NAAB) requirements. The degree features a rigorous design-oriented curriculm with a solid foundation in technology, practice-based coursework, plan and document generation, building codes, specifications, digital parametric modeling, building information modeling, architectural visualization, digital fabrication, building envelope systems, structural systems, and building sustainability.
