CAREER AND PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONThis two-year Associate of Applied Science degree program helpsstudents develop the design and technical skills needed in theresidential and commercial building design industry.

Career possibilities exist for both self-employment and workingfor hire. Graduates may pursue various design and drafting jobswith residential designers, construction firms, interior designers,engineers, architects, architectural product manufacturers, city,county, state and federal drafting departments and corporate draftingdepartments.

Students should attend a program group advising session prior toenrollment. See department web page at www.pcc.edu/arch foradditional information and a list of group advising session dates.

Consult a program advisor for information on PCC’s policy onacceptance of courses taken at other colleges or high schools or thetransferability of PCC courses to other colleges.

The Sustainable Design Certificate provides course work fromarchitecture, interior design, building construction, social sciencesand science as it relates to sustainable, or “green” building issues.This program will focus on creating buildings that are sited, designed,constructed, operated, and maintained for the health and well beingof the occupants, while minimizing impact on the environment. It isrecommended that students without prior drafting experience takeARCH 110 and ARCH 126 prior to starting this certificate.

The Kitchen and Bath Certificate includes course work fromArchitecture and Interior Design and prepares the student to takethe National Kitchen and Bath Association exams to become anAssociated Certified Kitchen and/or Bath Designer.
