Architecture: Transfer Associate

The Architecture AA Transfer program prepares students to enter a 4-year institution and obtain a Bachelor’s degree. The minimum educational requirement to become a Registered Architect in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is a Bachelor’s of Architecture degree.  Since the requirement of senior institutions vary widely, it is essential that students choose their intended transfer institution as soon as possible and carefully follow the program requirements outlined in that institution’s catalog.  This program transfers into the Facilities Management BS degree at Temple University.  Students interested in pursuing this option are encouraged to apply for Dual Admission.  The complete program is only available at the Harrisburg Campus. Some of the required courses are available at the Lancaster, Lebanon, Gettysburg, and York campuses.
