In direct alignment with Palomar College’s mission statement, the Architecture Department is committed and focused on being the leading provider of education to influence positive change and excellence in the built and natural environments. We celebrate diversity in cultures, beliefs, abilities and needs. We foster a culture of integrity, professional practices, ethical behavior, environmental responsibility and global sustainability.

Our instructors will educate, nurture, and inspire our creative-minded architectural and design students immersing them in a culture of professional practices designed to evoke passion and inspiration in the pursuit of their professional goals.

Our curriculum is inclusive of individuals pursuing educational enrichment, career and technical training and re-training, certificates of achievement, associate degrees, and transfer-readiness to private schools and universities. We equip students with the skills and confidence necessary to become engaging leaders of change in society while living respectfully and responsibly in a global society.
