Architectural Engineering students enroll through UNO and take classes in Omaha, but will receive their degree from UNL
Architectural engineers blend the fundamental principles of engineering with knowledge of all building systems. Using new and emerging technologies, graduates will plan and design integrated building systems.
The Durham School’s five-year program, one of only a few in the nation, combines a bachelor’s and master’s degree into five years of schooling so our students graduate with an ABET-accredited Master of Architectural Engineering degree. As a Master of Architectural Engineering graduate, you will have an excellent foundation to give you a head-start in the career field.
The Nebraska AE program is located on the Scott Campus at the University of Nebraska Omaha; all degrees are conferred from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
