ARCHITECTURE

Description

This program leads to the Associate of Science Degree in Architecture for advanced technical preparation placement as well as employment in architectural firms, the architectural/engineering/construction (AEC) and design industries, and public works/utilities. The program includes applications such as building information modeling (BIM), computer-assisted design and drafting (CADD), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), 3D printing, and traditional drafting methods and standards. In completing specific General Education courses, this program fulfills many of the requirements and foundational courses for transfer to baccalaureate degree granting institutions and architecture-related majors, but does not fulfill all transfer requirements for specific baccalaureate degree programs.

To acquire the Associate of Science Degree in Architecture, students must complete the required major courses below with a grade of "C" or better or of “P” if the course was taken on a Pass/No Pass basis, along with either of the following: Rio Hondo College General Education (RHC GE) or California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC). California State University General Education-Breadth (CSU GE) or Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) may be used in some cases; please see a counselor for details.
