Surface Forms

Bachelor of Science in Architecture singular

Morphology

bachelor + of + science + in + architecture

The phrase is fully compositional: 'bachelor' denotes an undergraduate degree, 'of science' specifies the degree type/discipline category, and 'in architecture' names the field. A B1 learner who knows these constituents and basic prepositions can readily infer it means an undergraduate degree in architecture; this naming pattern is common across languages, reinforcing transparency.

Etymology

Bachelor of Science in Architecture comes from older university words: bachelor once meant a young student, science meant careful study of facts, and architecture means building design. So the name shows it is the first university degree that teaches the practical and technical side of building design, which is why it means 'a bachelor's degree in architecture'.
