  3. Completion of 30 hours of electives, as follows:
    Hours
         15   Professional Electives:
          Chosen from any courses taught 
          in the School of Architecture
     15   Free Electives

  4. A minimum of 160 hours with a 2.00 cumulative grade-point average at this institution both in all work attempted and in professional course work attempted is required. See Scholarship Rules.

  5. Completion of the University junior English requirement either by course work or exemption by exam.

  6. Participation for at least one semester in an approved educational experience in a major urban center. (See Off-Campus Study Requirement, page 161.)

To become candidates for entry into the School of Architecture professional program at the second-year level, students must have completed 30 hours of the above pre-professional general education work, including those courses marked with an asterisk (*) or their equivalent from another institution. (ENVD 1211, 1221, 1015, and 1025 must be completed in this School of Architecture unless accepted from another NAAB-accredited School of Architecture.)

Entry into the professional program is limited and based upon cumulative grade-point average of pre-professional work accepted toward degree credit. See "Admission to the Professional Program," page 151.

NOTE: The hours of any required course from which a student has been exempted will be added to the free elective requirement. No more than 4 hours of physical education and/or R.O.T.C. may be counted toward a degree. Courses not acceptable toward degree credit include those of a remedial or orientation nature and those whose content is considered to be measurably duplicated elsewhere in the curriculum. ENGL 3003 is not counted toward degree credit.

By following the preceding curriculum, students will meet the state-mandated University Core Requirements. We require that transfer students present a minimum of one semester of physics (with laboratories) and strongly recommend a second course in physics as fulfillment of the science requirement in the State Minimum Core. See University Core Requirements on page 56. Physics is preparatory to architectural structures courses; students presenting other science will be handicapped in these courses.

Bachelor of Arts Degree
with a major in Architectural Studies

The School of Architecture cooperates with the College of Arts and Sciences in the offering of a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Architectural Studies. The requirements of this degree are as follows:
  1. Completion of the requirements in the Basic Program for the Bachelor of Arts degree.

  2. Completion of ENVD 1211, 1221, 1015, and 1025; ARCH 2111L, 2113, 2124, 2233, 2243, and 3253.

  3. Completion of a minimum of 12 hours selected from any architecture or landscape architecture courses numbered 3000 or above.

  4. Completion of a minimum of six hours in Arts and Sciences courses numbered above 3000 (not including any courses cross- listed with Architecture).

  5. A minimum 2.00 cumulative grade-point average in all work completed in the School of Architecture.

Each candidate will be assigned a faculty adviser from the School of Architecture with whom to work toward the development of a program emphasizing the special interests of the candidate.
