View on provider's websiteThe Architecture Program at Mesa College has two main focuses: transfer to university Architecture programs and preparation for direct employment in architecture or a related design office. Because employment in the architectural profession has become increasingly selective, often requiring a Bachelor of Arts or Science degree in Architecture or a Bachelors of Architecture for entry-level positions, the Mesa College program is focused primarily on transferring qualified students to university programs offering those degrees.
