Effective November 1, 2024, significant changes were made to the Government of Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Program. Some Saskatchewan Polytechnic programs are no longer eligible for a PGWP.
Students who applied for a PGWP before November 1, 2024 are not affected by the changes.
About the Program
Architectural Technologies is a three-year diploma offered full time at Saskatchewan Polytechnic Moose Jaw campus. It includes five academic semesters and three four-month Co-operative Education work terms. The program offers two areas of concentration: Building Sciences and Interior Design. The first three semesters are common to both areas. You’ll focus on residential design and wood frame construction (National Building Code – Part 9), and build knowledge and skills in:
- properties and function of construction materials
- criteria and methods of building construction and design
- preparation of construction documents
- construction contract administration
In your fourth and fifth semesters, you’ll focus in on your chosen area:
- In Building Science, you’ll receive an introduction to commercial and institutional building construction with emphasis on construction detailing and methods, structural systems, environmental controls and the building envelope (National Building Code – Parts 3 and 4).
- In Interior Design, you’ll receive an introduction to commercial and institutional interior construction with an emphasis on interior finishes, detailing and methods, space planning, lighting design and material selection (National Building Code – Parts 3 and 4).
Your co-operative work term counts as courses. You pay tuition and receive credit, but you also get paid. It’s a great way to gain valuable experience while earning a salary.
