Architectural Technology and Building Sciences
Sample Schedule
The schedule below shows how the requirements for the A.A.S. Architectural Technology and Building Sciences degree may be completed in four semesters. This schedule is an example of one of many possible different schedules. It is included here only as an illustration of the type of schedule that might be followed by a full-time student. Many students attending Finger Lakes Community College who have work and/or family obligations choose a different sequence of courses and take more than four semesters to fulfill the requirements for the A.A.S. Architectural Technology and Building Sciences degree. An evening sequence designed for qualified part-time students is available. Students should consult their advisor when they plan their schedule. All technology students at Finger Lakes take the same core courses in their first semester. This enhances your understanding of all technologies, and gives you the opportunity to explore different areas of technology without loss of credit.
