Mercer County Community College offers a 2-year curriculum that results in a Associates Degree in Architecture.

The academic courses provide students with a broad base of general knowledge which widens their outlook and increases their ability to evaluate issues and make enlightened decisions. The design COURSES emphasize the development of skills in architectural conceptualization and design decision-making. They include both traditional methods of architectural graphics and model building as well as use of the computer as a three-dimensional design study tool.

Together, the academic courses and design courses form the foundation needed for advancement in architectural education and, later, in professional practice. Students have the opportunity to enrich their education through participation in field trips and a variety of architecture-related extracurricular activities.

Since architecture programs vary among senior colleges and admission is highly competitive, faculty assistance is readily available to students preparing design portfolios and investigating potential transfer institutions. The architecture faculty are registered architects.
