According to the median annual salary of students one year after graduation, BAC students earn an average $61,200.

"I am so honored that the BAC's Master of Architecture and Bachelor of Architecture have been recognized to be the number one programs in the country! Our students are empowered by our mission and our practice-based approach to architectural education. Our graduates embody our social justice mission - as graduates and as makers of their communities," shared Karen Nelson, Dean of the School of Architecture.
