Considering the redefinition of the roles of AEC professions -and reflec-tively education- through Building Information Modeling (BIM), this re-search is interested in the integration of BIM tools and technologies into formal architectural education at the higher education level. Starting with the first attempts as a transition from teaching AutoCAD to BIM in stand-alone computer courses, the recent studies show that BIM integration in ed-ucation has expanded towards adapting the architectural curriculum to pre-pare students for a BIM-oriented practice. Acknowledging the trends and positing possible shifts in the field, this study uses a systematic review method to map the actual experiences of researchers and academics for the integration of BIM tools and technologies into architectural education. In the Scopus database, publications that focus on BIM integration to architec-tural education are scanned for a period between 2005 to 2021. After the bibliometric analysis, 42 studies are selected to evaluate based on their re-flection of an actual case experience in a higher education setting that en-gages in the integration of BIM in architectural education. Evaluating vari-ous approaches addressing the design studios and complementary courses and the challenges faced in architectural education as part of the efforts to integrate BIM is examined concerning the emerging themes. As the most fre-quently encountered theme in the selected studies, a particular emphasis is put on the concept of collaboration.
