Architecture affects our lives in everything we do, from living and working environments to how we interact with each other and the environment. And architecture technologists are involved every step along the way.
From home construction to office building design, and from interpreting blueprints to navigating building codes, architecture technologists bring ideas and concepts to life. DCC’s Architectural Technology degree program teaches students how to design buildings that are not only functional and environmentally friendly but also economical and sustainable.
You’ll acquire a broad range of skills and knowledge, including data—architectural design, graphic communication, and construction technology that will create a strong foundation from which to pursue career opportunities in the design and construction industry, or transfer to a four- or five-year college or university program. Many students do both.
