Architectural Studies

CarletonпПХs Bachelor of Architectural Studies focuses on knowledge, experience and imagination. Our program encourages you to explore ideas through making; evaluate ideas within the context of the human experience; and exercise creativity through writing, model making, drawing, digital media and presentations.CarletonпПХs Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism awards the pre-professional Bachelor of Architectural Studies (BAS) degree upon successful completion of our four-year program of study. If you intend to practice architecture, you can then apply to continue into a professional Master of Architecture program at Carleton, or equivalent professional training at another university. The BAS program is also an excellent degree for a range of careers or for further studies in design. The first year of the program lays a broad foundation on which architectural studies are built. You will take courses in architecture, design, drawing and multi-media applications, as well as specified general studies in engineering, art history and social sciences. After your first year, you can focus your architectural studies by choosing one of four areas of study: conservation and sustainability; design; philosophy and criticism; and urbanism.
