Using Your BA Towards a Career in Architecture
Are you interested in using the knowledge and skillset acquired through your Bachelor of Arts degree towards a graduate degree in Architecture?
If so, you are invited you to participate in a five-week intensive studio at Carleton University’s Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism where we will help you hone your skills and prepare a design portfolio ready to help you reach that next step.
This is the launch of the first program of its kind in Canada- an immersion studio for participants with no formal academic background in architecture. The main goal of the program is to generate portfolio material appropriate for application to the three-year Master of Architecture accredited degree. This degree option is offered at Carleton, and at four other universities in Canada.
The program is a five-week intensive introduction to studio culture, including field trips to prominent architectural landmarks in the Capital Region and Montreal, as well as focused lectures from major thinkers in the theory and practice of architecture, and workshops in digital applications, portfolio preparation, and statements of interest.
Program Cost:
$2900 + hst (includes some studio supplies, and all computer software)
Participants will cover their housing and transportation costs, including a field trip to Montreal.
The School will host an information session on the Studio First program on February 25, 2016 at 6:00 p.m. at the Azrieli School of Architecture & Urbanism on the Carleton University campus.
About the Program: Studio First, Post-Baccalaureate
