Bachelor of Science in Architecture
Four-Year Pre-Professional Degree
Architecture is a creative process of design, construction technologies, digital arts, the humanities, social sciences, and aesthetic expression.
The B.S. Architecture major creates the foundation in the field of architecture as preparation for continued education in a NAAB accredited degree program. Architecture at DAAP provides students with a comprehensive education that combines design principles, technical skills, and critical thinking. The architecture program emphasizes the integration of design theory and practice, preparing students to become well-rounded professionals in the field.
From exploring the diverse cities of Morocco, to crafting meaningful designs in the classroom, every moment taught me invaluable lessons in collaboration and cultural understanding. It fostered a deep sense of empathy and resilience, significantly influencing my pursuits in the field of architecture.
