UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULUM IN ARCHITECTURE

---

For the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies

In this curriculum, normal progress is imperative. A student failing to complete any required course more than one semester later than the time designated in the curriculum is prohibited from progressive registration in architectural courses until the deficiency is corrected. To continue at the sophomore level and beyond, a student must have a cumulative grade-point average of 2.25 (A = 4.0) for all University course work attempted. For the bachelor of science in architectural studies degree, a total of 127 semester hours are required.

1. ARCH 199ITA is not required for students transferring into the BSAS program. Those students would replace the three credit hours with a general elective course.

2. See page 41 for general education course requirements. The quantitative reasoning requirement is satisfied by the required C S 102 course. The required sequence in History of Western Civilization (HIST 111 and HIST 112) also satisfies the humanities and the arts requirement. The Composition II requirement may be fulfilled by either a separate, approved Composition II course or by a Composition II course which also satisfies one of the general education distribution list requirements. If by the latter, electives would be taken to make up the credit deficiency.

3. The Composition I requirement my be fulfilled by any of the following courses or course sequences. Placement is determined by examination: E S L 114 and E S L 115; RHET 100, RHET 101, and RHET 102; RHET 103 and RHET 104; RHET 105; RHET 108; or SPCOM 111 and SPCOM 112.

4. The ARTGP 189 requirement may be fulfilled,with approval, by taking any 3-D, three credit hour art course.

5. For information about electives, see Fine and Applied Arts Student Handbook, page 34. A maximum of nine hours may be taken as professional electives.

6. Architectural history: All students in the undergraduate program in architecture must fulfill the architectural history requirement: three courses in addition to ARCH 210. Students should take one course from each of the following groups: 1) ARCH 310-Ancient Architecture, ARCH 311-Early Christian and Byzantine Architecture, ARCH 312-Medieval Architecture; 2) ARCH 313-Renaissance Architecture, ARCH 314-Baroque and Rococo Architecture; 3) ARCH 315-Modern European Architecture, ARCH 316-Modern American Architecture, ARCH 318-History of Urban Environment.

7. The U P 101 requirement can be fulfilled by substituting one of the following approved courses: ARCH 318-History of the Urban Environment, GEOG 204-Cities of the World, GEOG 210-Contemporary Social and Environmental Problems, GEOG 325-Historical Geography of American Landscapes to 1880, GEOG 326-Historical Geography of American Landscapes Since 1880, GEOG 327-American Vernacular: the Cultural Landscape, GEOG 383-Urban Geography, SOC 275-Community, SOC 276-Cities and Suburbs
