Architectural Studies The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Architectural Studies is a four-year, pre-professional program that provides students with a broad and interdisciplinary design education that will allow graduates an opportunity to pursue their interests and career paths from either architectural design, landscape architecture, urban design, or related building science disciplines such as energy modeling, sustainability, or historic preservation. The curriculum embraces an “atelier” design studio format that is complemented by three curricular groupings [History + Design Theory | Media + Presentation | Built Environment + Technology] within a traditional design studio classroom structure. This format allows for a strong foundation and comprehensive investigation into the built environment. Graduates of the BFA in Architectural Studies program are qualified for entry-level positions in architecture, landscape architecture, historic preservation, urban design, and design-build construction firms. Graduates of the program wishing to become licensed in architecture, landscape architecture, or urban planning can pursue accredited graduate degrees, for architecture by the National Architectural Accreditation Board NAAB https://www.naab.org/ , for Landscape Architecture by the LAAB https://www.asla.org/schools.aspx , and for urban planning by the Planning Accreditation Board PAB http://www.planningaccreditationboard.org/ .
Students in the department can join the ECAD (Endicott College Architectural + Design Studies) an active student organization that is affiliated with the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), International Interior Design Association (IIDA), and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) allowing a direct connection to the professional architectural community.

Art Therapy The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Therapy is a four-year, pre-professional degree integrating three areas of study; studio art, psychology, and creative arts therapy courses. Art therapy at Endicott is primarily a studio visual art experience, yet maybe augmented with opportunities in dance, drama, music, and poetry. Students enter at their own levels of artistic development and, through a proven year of foundation courses, grow increasingly comfortable working in a variety of media. Over the course of study, each student is encouraged to discover his or her own treasury of personal creative resources, and in turn, share therapeutic properties with others. Students are encouraged to participate in national organizations such as the American Art Therapy Association (AATA), or the Society for the Arts in Healthcare (SAH). Although alumni have proven to be successful in securing meaningful positions in relevant fields, becoming a registered art therapist (ATR) is dependent upon completion of appropriate graduate education and post-graduate supervised experience. Board Certification (ATR-BC) is granted to registered art therapists who pass a written examination and requires continuing education. Art therapy is a program for artistically talented students who want to apply their creativity for the well-being and benefit of others.
