Architectural Engineering Technology

I wanted to major in architecture and decided to start my journey at FSC. I knew I wanted to stay home, this was affordable, and FSC is not too large or too small. Because it’s small, you can have closer relationships with professors. I have friends in larger schools who say they have no connection with their teachers.
