Students who don’t intend to work towards licensure may prefer the four-year non-accredited pre-professional bachelor of science in architectural studies. This degree prepares students for careers in areas that relate to design and construction, while also providing flexibility and allowing broader exploration in their Drury coursework. Students who excel in the B.S.A.S. program may be candidates for subsequent architectural studies in graduate programs at other institutions.
Since the courses of study for both the M.Arch and B.S.A.S degrees are identical for the first seven semesters of either program, students may freely declare or change major paths at any point prior to applying for graduation.
