Athabasca University Faculty of Science and Technology

The Faculty of Science and Technology offers an innovative spectrum of learning and teaching activities in our undergraduate and graduate programs and courses. Students can experience learning in areas of computing and information systems, architecture and science. The Centre for Science delivers concentrated on-site laboratory activities at various locations in Alberta, Canada. We are excited with the recent expansion of state-of-the-art laboratories at our Athabasca campus. In addition, we offer home laboratories in some courses, where students can participate in exercises that complement their coursework without having to attend formal campus-based sessions. In partnership with the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, the RAIC Centre for Architecture offers Canada’s first online architectural program. The Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Architecture (PBDA) is the academic component of the program and will allow qualifying students to follow a practice-based path that will prepare them as architects of the future. The School of Computing and Information Systems offers undergraduate and graduate programs. Students can experience learning in areas of computing and information systems, artificial intelligence and gaming design. Many of our dedicated researchers are regarded both nationally and internationally, and the outstanding innovative research they do spans many different areas.
