Associate of Science in Architecture

Alamo Colleges District

Established in 1958, the architecture program at San Antonio College has provided the first two years of professional education for generations of Texas architects, interior design, and construction management professionals. Architecture is the art and science of building. It is also a profession, which means it involves extensive training and formal qualifications. For architecture students that entails between five and six years of higher education as well as a specified amount of work experience to become eligible to take the Architecture Registration Exam. Once the registration exam has been passed, the goal of becoming an architect is realized. The architecture program is a pre-professional program dedicated to providing students with introductory and intermediate courses which promote the art and science of architecture, and which prepare them for transfer and advanced study. For majors, through development of an understanding of the core values of excellence, open discourse, responsibility and cooperation, students will hone the knowledge and skills needed to succeed at a senior institution to earn a bachelor’s or master’s degree and, ultimately, to excel in the profession of architecture. Students also learn to use industry-standard software and get practical experience with creative problem solving.
