CURRICULUM NOTES: The School reserves the right to retain all student projects done for academic credit. MTH 109 and ENG 105 are entry level courses. Courses taken to achieve entry-level status cannot be considered towards the total credits required for the B.Arch. Degree.
ELECTIVES: The program requires the completion of seven architectural elective courses. These electives enable the student to explore areas of architectural interest beyond the core requirements. Students are also required to fulfill a minor in an area of study outside of Architecture. Minors normally range from four to five courses
