The Architectural Studies B.S. program is eligible for students who want to participate in an Eight-Semester Degree Program. The plan below lists a semester-by-semester sequence of courses to finish the degree in eight semesters. Information about the University Core courses is listed in a chart at the bottom of this page.
During the first year, students who have been admitted to the Fall-Spring Design Studio and students who have been to the Spring-Summer Design Studio follow different schedules, both of which are listed below, with the Fall-Spring Studio first and then the Spring-Summer Studio. The second, third and fourth years are identical for both studios.|

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 the student’s special interests. Architectural Studies 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. | |||
