ADMISSION TO THE PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM
IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Applicants to the professional program in landscape architecture, at the second year, must have completed at least 30 hours of college level work from an accredited institution acceptable toward degree credit (exclusive of remedial, orientation, or repetitive course work). These 30 hours must include six hours of English composition, three hours of mathematics, Theory of Environmental Design I and II, and the first two design studios, or consent.

Admission to the professional program is limited and is based upon grade-point average and a faculty review of work accomplished in ENVD 1015 and 1025 or equivalent courses. Applicants who have grade-point averages below 2.00 are not accepted. A maximum of 18 students are accepted each year into the Landscape Architecture Program. Grade-point averages will include grades from work at other institutions which are accepted toward degree credit.

Grade-point averages for applicants to the Professional program are based upon an overall grade-point average or upon equal evaluation of (a) overall grade-point average of all academic work accepted toward degree credit, and (b) grades in Theory of Environmental Design I and II, and the first two Design Studios. No applicant may be accepted with a grade-point average below 2.00 in either (a) or (b).

Applications to the professional program should be completed as early as possible but not later than July 1st preceding the Fall semester for which admission is sought (requirements being completed over the summer sessions will be acknowledged). Applications may be made by mail or in person at the Office of the Associate Dean, School of Architecture, 209 Vol Walker Hall, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR 72701. The School will notify applicants who have been accepted one week prior to the beginning of classes or sooner.

Students may elect to begin the year of pre-professional work at the Fayetteville campus of the University of Arkansas, or at any accredited institution of higher education. Students who choose to complete this year of work at other institutions in the State of Arkansas should take the required English composition, math, social science, fine arts/humanities, botany/biology and geology courses.

Regardless of where the pre-professional work is done, 30 hours or more of course work must be completed to qualify for admission to the Landscape Architecture professional program of the School of Architecture. Only work acceptable toward degree credit in the departmental curriculum will be accepted as part of the 30 hours of course work required. Students who desire to attend other institutions must still take 12 credit hours of pre-professional environmental design courses or an approved equivalent at Fayetteville.
