Mission Statement
As a private nonprofit school of spatial design, The Boston Architectural College's mission is to provide excellence in design education emerging from practice and accessible to diverse communities.
About This Cause
The Boston Architectural College began as a professional club in 1889. In 1971, we became the first accredited architecture program with a work component in the US. Since then, we have introduced programs in interior architecture, landscape architecture, and design studies. In February of 2021 the Boston Architectural College (BAC) announced its commitment to a bold new vision through its BAC to the Future strategic plan. Through this innovative plan, we will firmly focus on transforming and expanding our future-oriented design programs to serve a greater number and diversity of students in the US and worldwide. As we generate and regenerate our programs for the future, we are steadfastly committed to providing an integrated and exemplary experience for our students ensuring their success and empowering them to fully actualize their potential without boundaries. President Mahesh Daas joined the BAC in July 2019, and immediately created opportunities to engage the larger BAC community in applying their insight to shape the future of the college. In September of that year, workshops were initiated to assist staff and faculty in developing the skills needed to enhance their collaborative work and as the foundation for strategic action. Throughout the BAC's collaborative process, leadership engaged students, faculty, staff, trustees, and creative instigators as well as gathered insights for the institution's future direction through "think wrong" design workshops and other creative forums along with conducting rigorous strategy validation studies to inform the plan. The five-year plan was enthusiastically approved by the BAC Board of Trustees in November 2020. The following highlights our mission, vision, goals, and inaugural initiatives. BAC to the Future is intentionally flexible - open and evolving to changing conditions close to home and around the globe.
