Career Opportunities

Architecture students who graduate from CSCC obtain employment (often well before graduation) in a variety of environs. Most go to architectural firms, but many find positions in engineering firms, or with builders, developers, product manufacturers, retailers, and other industry related areas.

Opportunities include computer aided drafting (CAD) positions (where graduates of most programs begin, whether from 2, 4, 5, or 6 year programs), project managers, field representatives, drafters and consultants.

Average starting salaries can range from $20,000 to $26,000 per year depending upon the firm. Depending upon the position and experience level technicians can earn $30,000+ per year.
