The DLSU-D Bachelor of Science in Architecture (BSARC) program is geared towards producing architects who are socially, technically, and environmentally sensitive to the enduring development of the architectural profession as well as to the development of construction industry. The students will be comprehensively trained in the various dimensions of professional practice such as design, planning, and construction management in the local and global setting.
Graduates may start to undertake the two-year “diversified experience” which is a requirement before taking the board examination for architects. Aside from that, they may decide to enrich themselves with allied professions by acquiring license/s in Masters in Plumbing (Plumbing Engineering), Landscape Architecture, and others. After passing the board examination, graduates may find employment in the academe as architectural educators, in construction as managers, in any industry as building administrators, planners, physical facilities or utility system consultants. In addition, licensed graduates may consider organizing their own architectural firms where they can offer architecture expertise.
