The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Architecture at The Pennsylvania State University is a pre-professional, four-year undergraduate program requiring a minimum of 120 credits. The curriculum covers fundamental aspects of architecture, including design studios, history and theory, materials and construction, and environmental systems. The first two years align closely with the professional Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) program. This B.S. is designed for students wishing to pursue careers in related fields (e.g., construction, real estate, public administration, historic preservation) or continue with graduate studies in architecture or other disciplines. The program does not meet eligibility for professional licensure as an architect; further graduate study is required for those seeking licensure. Enrollment is limited to students who transfer from the professional B.Arch. program at Penn State.
