PHYS 1044/1040L or
PHYS 2013/2011L, required.
PHYS 1054/1050L or
PHYS 2033/2031L, highly recommended.

3. Completion of 27 hours of electives, as follows:

Professional Electives - 15 hours
Chosen from upper-level courses (courses numbered 3000 or above) taught on the Fayetteville campus of the School of Architecture. Students participating in the Rome program may present only three hours of elective course work for professional elective credit. All other elective courses will be used to fulfill free elective requirements.

Free Electives - 12 hours

4. A minimum of 157 hours with a 2.00 cumulative grade-point average at this institution both in all work attempted and in all professional course work attempted is required. See Academic Policies.

5. Completion of the University Advanced Composition 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.)

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 three 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 whose content is considered to be measurably duplicated elsewhere in the curriculum. ENGL 2003 is not counted toward degree credit, nor is ARCH 1003 for Architecture majors.

By following the preceding curriculum, students will meet the state-mandated University Core Requirements. They must also meet all other University requirements for graduation. 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. Physics is preparatory to architectural technology courses; students presenting a different science option may have difficulty in the architectural technology courses.

Sample curriculum for the Bachelor of Architecture degree can be obtained from the architecture advising center.

Professional Licensure Degree Requirement

The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) only accredits professional programs offering the Bachelor of Architecture, which requires a minimum of five years of study, and the Master of Architecture degrees. These professional degrees are structured to educate those who aspire to registration and licensure to practice as architects. The curricular requirements for awarding these degrees must include three components general studies, professional studies, and electives. Together these three components comprise a liberal education in architecture and ensure that graduates will be technically competent, critical thinkers who are capable of defining multiple career paths within a changing societal context.

While no four-year degrees are accredited by NAAB, the Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies degree is useful to those who want a foundation in the field of architecture as preparation for either continued education in a professional degree program or for employment in fields related to architecture.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE IN ARCHITECTURAL STUDIES

The Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies incorporates course work from the School of Architecture with liberal studies for students with interests that fall outside the parameters of the accredited professional degree program. The architectural studies program provides opportunities for students who wish to prepare for graduate study in an accredited architecture program or in an allied discipline, such as architectural history, historic preservation, urban planning, or construction management, as well as serving students who seek opportunities in related fields that may not require the five-year accredited degree.

Requirements for a Bachelor of Science Degree in Architectural Studies follow:

1. Completion of the following 35-hour architectural studies program:

Architectural Design - 16 hours
ARCH 1015, ARCH 1025, ARCH 2016

Architectural Technology - 8 hours
ARCH 2111L, 2113, 2124, or LARC 2714, 3724

History and Theory of Arch. - 11 hours
ENVD 1211, 1221
ARCH 2233, 2243, 4433

At least three hours should be taken in anthropology, economics, psychology, or sociology; and with not more than two courses taken from any one department to fulfill this requirement. (See University Core Requirements)

3. Completion of the following 21-hour basic program in the arts:

Communications - 3 hours
COMM 1313

Humanities and Social Sciences - 12 hours
WCIV 1003 and 1013, or

(CLST 1003 or 1013 are recommended for architectural studies students.)

Arts and Sciences - 6 hours
A minimum of six hours in courses numbered above 3000 (not including any courses cross- listed with architecture).

4. Completion of the following foreign language requirement.

Foreign Language - 0-12 hours
(depending upon placement) Students must demonstrate proficiency in a single modern or classic language other than English, usually by completing a sequence of four courses (1003, 1013, 2003, 2013). Students meeting the normal admission standard (two years of one foreign language in high school) may expect to satisfy this requirement with fewer courses, depending upon placement. In cases of unusually thorough preparation, or in the case of international students, exemption may be sought from the department of foreign languages.

5. Completion of 21 hours of electives:

Professional electives - 12 hours
At least 6 hours in upper-level (3000 or above) courses taught in the School of Architecture. The remaining professional elective credits may be additional upper-level courses in the School of Architecture, approved courses in an allied discipline, or courses in another department of the university that contribute to the fulfillment of a recognized minor.

Free electives - 9 hours

6. A minimum of 124 hours with a 2.00 cumulative grade-point average at this institution both in all work attempted and in course work completed in the School of Architecture.

7. Presentation of at least 40 semester hours in courses numbered 3000 or above or courses in the School of Architecture numbered 2000 with specific course pre-requisites.

8. Completion of the University Junior English requirement, either by course work or exemption by exam.

9. Each student graduating in Architectural Studies must write a research/analytical paper in at least one upper-division course in her or his major or minor area.

10. Course work taken to remove course deficiencies assigned during admission or transfer will not be counted toward the degree. Similarly, courses considered to be remedial or developmental will not count toward the degree.

11. Transfer work in which grades of "D" or "F" were earned will not be allowed toward credit for graduation.

Architectural Studies degree candidates may pursue an academic minor. The minor must be in a field other than the major area, and students must notify the department of their intention to minor. An academic minor ordinarily consists of 15-18 hours. Specific requirements for the minor are given in the section entitled "Majors, Minors, and Courses of Instruction." Although students in architectural studies may choose from any recognized minor offered by the University, they are encouraged to consider the following fields:

African-American Studies Studies
Anthropology
Art
Art History
Business
Administration
Classical Studies
Communication
Computer Sciences
Drama
Economics
English
Environmental
European Studies
Gender Studies
Geography
History
Latin-American Studies
Philosophy
Political Science
Psychology
Sociology

Although foreign study is not required of candidates for the four-year degree, students in the architectural studies curriculum are encouraged to participate in the School of Architecture's off-campus study programs in Rome, Mexico City, and Bath. Architectural studies majors also may take advantage of the community service opportunities offered through the University of Arkansas Community Design Center (UACDC).

To take maximum advantage of the opportunities the four-year degree offers for pre-professional development (cultivation of specialization in and related to the field, and/or preparation for graduate study) each candidate for the Architectural Studies degree will work with a faculty adviser to develop a program of study emphasizing a student's special interests.

Sample curriculum for the Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies degree can be obtained from the Advising Center.
