Computer Aided Design (CAD) Schools

Have you always been intrigued by blueprints? Earn a degree in computer aided design and start creating your own architectural drawings today! Students in CAD programs learn to use industry-approved 2-and 3-D modeling software to take hand drawn images and translate them into computer-based drawings for planning or architecture.

Depending on their area of specialization, CAD designers can find work in the fields of architecture, city planning, film animation, industrial design, or engineering. The appeal of CAD software lies in the ability to make fast and accurate drawings, and the flexibility to make changes without having to start from scratch (a tedious drawback for traditional hand-drafters.) Many design professionals have made the transition to CAD in order to save time and create more professional-looking presentations.

CAD skills are highly sought after in the architectural and industrial design fields. Students in CAD programs learn to think critically and create comprehensive design solutions that can help to ensure the efficient construction of buildings or objects.

There are many opportunities for CAD designers to earn a degree! Please review our featured schools to find a program in your area.
