Professional (Non-Thesis) offered by the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture in the Faculty of Engineering is a course-based program that emphasizes comprehensive and career-oriented learning opportunities. The program's objective is to equip students with skills in project evaluation, critical reading, and analysis to pursue professional opportunities (or potentially continue their studies).

Unique Program Features
  • Our program is accredited by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) and is recognized as accredited by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) in the U.S.;
  • The School operates a number of important auxiliary facilities that include workshops, research labs and other resources that support teaching and learning, and research;
