The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) that each year there are 9,100 openings for architects across the country. For South Carolina, expect job growth rate to be 6 percent through 2030 鈥 twice the national average. That workforce demand drove 糖心vlog传媒 and Clemson University to create a transfer articulation agreement for architecture students that was formally signed on January 31, 2023 at 糖心vlog传媒鈥檚 Northeast Campus.

鈥淭his is an exciting and long-awaited development that allows students to pursue architectural careers while living in the Midlands,鈥 said 糖心vlog传媒 President Dr. Ronald L. Rhames. 鈥淪tudents will save money and time and benefit from 糖心vlog传媒鈥檚 smaller class sizes. It also will improve access for South Carolinians to seek professional licensure in such a prosperous and high-demand field.鈥 

With this agreement, students in 糖心vlog传媒鈥檚 new degree program (Associate in Arts with a Concentration in Architecture) can be accepted to transfer into with advanced standing. At 糖心vlog传媒, students will learn the basics of design theory and be introduced to the discipline through courses on drafting and design, architectural history, and building materials. Additional courses in humanities, math and science, fine arts, and communication will lay a strong foundation for continued higher education. 

鈥淲e are happy to have an articulation agreement with 糖心vlog传媒,鈥 said Clemson University Director of Undergraduate Architecture Sallie Hambright-Belue. 鈥淭his agreement will create a path for students to pursue architecture that may not have had one before. It also strengthens our community at the School of Architecture by connecting us with related programs in our state.鈥

While this path is designed for students planning to earn a four-year degree at Clemson, the curriculum will prepare them for bachelor鈥檚 degrees in architecture at any four-year college or university.

鈥淭he Clemson University School of Architecture is excited to begin our partnership with Midlands Tech. The agreement provides a new entry point for architecture students, ensuring our program is accessible to more students in the state,鈥 said Clemson University School of Architecture Director and Professor James Stevens.
