Program Requirements and Suggested Course Sequencing

Pre-Architecture students need to be advised by a Pre-Architecture advisor throughout their program.

The purpose of the one-year pre-professional program is to provide preparatory educational experiences for those seeking to apply for admission to another University for the completion of a professionally accredited degree in architecture, interior architecture or landscape architecture (but doesn’t guarantee that all the courses will transfer).   The coursework provides an important opportunity for students to explore their interests and level of commitment before applying to an architecture school.  Students will need to work closely with the school in which they plan to transfer to ensure optimal transferability of coursework.

Suggested Pre-Architecture Coursework

AH110	Art History Survey I	3
AH210	Art History Survery II	3
AR100	Drawing I	3
AR104	Design Foundations	3
EN100	Rhetoric and Critical Thinking	3
MA135 OR MA133/MA134	Precalculus OR Plane Trigonometry and College Algebra	5-6
PH120	Introductory Physics I	5
SC105	Fundamentals of Oral Communication	3
TG126	Computer Aided Architectural Drafting	3

Note:  Students should work closely with the school they intend on apply for admission to, to ensure that they meet admission requirements and deadlines (some schools only accept applications for the fall admission and have an early deadline; Example: February 1st for August admission consideration).

Students should keep in mind that architecture schools are highly competitive and selective. Some programs will still require the student to complete a 4-5 year studio sequence.  Students who decide not to transfer could apply some courses from the pre-architecture curriculum to the Industrial Technology major, Construction Management and Design.
