The Boston Architectural College began as a professional club in 1889. In 1971, we became the first accredited architecture program with a work component in the US. Since then, we have introduced programs in interior architecture, landscape architecture, and design studies. As a private nonprofit school of spatial design, The Boston Architectural College's mission is to provide excellence in design education emerging from practice and accessible to diverse communities.
