Bachelor of Architectural Science - Architectural Science (Optional Co-op)

The goal of the Bachelor of Architectural Science program is to educate students for a wide range of professional roles in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. The program emphasizes studies in design, technology, and management, promoting a holistic and integrated approach to the study of architectural science.

Students have the opportunity to apply theory learned in lecture courses to studio projects often engaging with real-life problems in design, construction, management and the environment. In their final two semesters, students can complete a general program with selection of courses and studios from across the curriculum, or choose one of three Concentrations – Architecture, Building Science or Project Management – and undertake intensive work in their chosen concentration.

Graduates of this program find career opportunities in: • the design, documentation, and management of projects in architectural, engineering, environmental management, and planning firms • the production, marketing, sales, research, development, testing, and evaluation of building products or systems in material fabrication, product manufacturing, and construction firms • office and field supervision in trade and general construction organizations • development and management of real estate/planning/conservation feasibility studies; environmental and management strategy planning • local, regional, provincial, federal, and international government agencies • post graduate education and research
