The Boston Architectural College was established as The Boston Architectural Club in 1889 by a group of both young and established local architects. The BAC's founders designed hospitals, churches, libraries, schools, theatres, and many notable homes in Back Bay and Fenway.In the 70s and 80s, the BAC began to expand its academic offerings.
The College offers professional and accredited graduate and undergraduate degrees in architecture, interior architecture, landscape architecture, and design studies. The core of the BAC experience is a unique learning model where design education happens in the classroom and in the professional workplace simultaneously.
BAC alumni are part of a powerful network of design professionals. This is the place to take advantage of that network to find your next job or hire a great new employee.
