Pre-Architecture

Boise State University offers courses that can be used for a 2 to 2 1/2 year pre-architectural program. This program will satisfy the first two years of most architectural programs and should be transferable. Some universities offer a degree in architectural engineering. If you are interested in this type of degree, you should follow the civil option under the engineering curriculum.
