Take part in Canada’s first online architecture program. Athabasca University and Architecture Canada, Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) have formed a partnership to offer the program, which provides 2 routes to your education in architecture.
- The traditional route of completing pre-professional training (the Bachelor of Science in Architecture (BSc Arch)), followed by a Masters of Architecture (from another university), and internship.
- The RAIC Syllabus program, which is a work/study program that ensures you qualify for certification of your education upon completion.
AU’s BSc Arch has a strong focus on environmental and community sustainability. The program includes 6 areas of study:
- technical
- history
- theory
- communications
- professional practice
- design studios
Why take the Bachelor of Science in Architecture?
The BSc Arch is a pre-professional program. It will prepare you for AU’s Gradate Diploma in Architecture or a master’s program in Architecture at other institutions.
Completing the BSc Arch alone will be beneficial for careers in urban and construction planning and design, as well as studies of the built environment.
