Craft Specializations

Traditional colleges offer majors such as history or preservation, and while those programs can educate you about these topics, they do not prepare you for an active career working hands-on to preserve, restore, rehabilitate or build architecturally significant structures. ACBA students can earn a four-year Bachelor of Applied Science degree from among the six specializations outlined below. Two-year Associate of Applied Science degrees are offered in Architectural Stone, Blacksmithing, the Fundamentals of Architectural Carpentry & Timber Framing and Plaster.
