The Architectural Studies and Design program is geared to the needs of the student planning to continue his/her education in architecture following graduation. The program does this by providing the student with a strong foundation to transfer into a pre-professional or professional architecture degree program. The core of the studio-centered curriculum is the four-semester architectural design (studio) sequence. The knowledge gained in courses like architectural graphic communications, architectural
history, and architectural technology are applied within the architectural design (studio) sequence to provide a sound preparation.

Architectural Studies and Design is an IBM ThinkPad University program in which laptop computers are fully integrated into the classroom environment.

This rigorous program has resulted in successful transfer opportunities for graduates. Morrisville graduates have excellent reputations at other academic institutions and universities.

Should a student decide not to transfer after earning the associate of science degree, there are employment opportunities in architectural firms and architectural-related industries as an entry-level employee.
