The School of Architecture and Design offers programs in architecture and interior design. Five degrees are offered by the school:


Associate in Applied Science, Architectural Technology (A.A.S.)

Bachelor of Science in Architectural Technology (B.S.A.T.)       
The Bachelor of Science in Architectural Technology (B.S.A.T.) is a non-professional degree that permits  the successful student to gain a license to practice architecture in the state of New York but does not make the degree holder eligible for NCARB certification. Should the graduate seek to gain a first professional degree in architecture, he or she may pursue a Bachelor of Architecture or a Master of Architecture.

Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.)
All students admitted to the undergraduate architecture program enter the Bachelor of Science in Architecture Technology (B.S.A.T.) program and undertake a two-year common core curriculum. This curriculum includes design studios and architectural history courses, as well as liberal arts courses such as English composition, math, physics, behavioral science, economics, fine arts, and social science.

After successful completion of the two-year common core curriculum, students may continue in the four-year B.S.A.T. program, which is accredited by New York State and may lead to New York State licensure, or apply for admission into the five-year B.Arch. program, which provides the successful candidate with a first professional degree accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board. The NAAB-certified B.Arch. degree may lead to New York State licensure plus reciprocal licensure in all states except California.

Master of Architecture in Urban and Regional Design (M.Arch.)
NYIT's graduate Master of Architecture in Urban and Regional Design program (MAURD) is a three-semester, 36-credit, post-professional degree for those holding a Bachelor in Architecture or Landscape Architecture degree. The program's three advanced design studios address urban and regional design with focus on integrated strategies across urban sectors, sustainability, and resilient communities in the context of their region. These studios explore the relationship of design across spatial scales, from individual buildings to regional infrastructure in ways that consider the impact of such intervention on interdependent human settlements.

Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design (B.F.A.)
21 Century, 2 Global Locations… The Bachelor of Fine Arts in interior design program prepares students for the rewarding challenges of designing for the 21st century. The program, offered at NYIT- Old Westbury and NYIT-Abu Dhabi, focuses on the relationship between human performance and environment through an innovative mix of studio design projects, profession-specific coursework, community oriented projects, and externships in the field.
