The School of the Building Arts, Inc. (SoBA) is located in Charleston, South Carolina and is a national school for the study of the building arts, which includes masonry, metalwork, plasterwork, timber framing, stone carving and carpentry, among other trades. SoBA is in the process of developing a college curriculum program which is planned to be launched in 2005. Both Associates and Bachelors degrees will be offered.

SoBA is working with the Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) to gather feedback for the schools masonry program. We would like to invite all masons to participate in the survey. The results of the survey will help SoBA develop a successful curriculum. The survey is available online at the link below. We really appreciate your input and help.
