The Architecture program at FSU is a pre-professional program that focuses on history, design theory, building systems and graphic/oral communication skills required to present design ideas to others. The program is designed as a two plus two curriculum consisting of a two-year A.S. in Architectural Engineering Technology and a four-year B.S. of Architecture.
