The mission of the School is to pursue architecture as a humanistic and professional discipline, which synthesizes art and science through intellectual rigor, aesthetic judgment, and technical understanding. The School achieves its mission through teaching, scholarship, creative work, research, and service, and commits itself to the highest ideals of the profession and culture of architecture.
The School's mission is based upon the conviction that architecture is first, reflective of the diverse, changing goals, values, and resources of society; and second, that architects have various and vital roles in interpreting and determining t he status, values, conditions, and direction of society, its culture and quality of life.
Architectural education at Illinois is based upon the premise that to be an architect in today's complex and fast-changing, global society the architect must have knowledge in a variety of areas beyond the profession. Recognizing the diversity of roles that are now emerging in the profession, graduates should also have a well-developed focus in which they can initiate their career.
DEGREE PROGRAMS IN ARCHITECTURE
The School of Architecture offers a four-year preprofessional curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies degree. The BSAS degree provides an undergraduate academic education in architecture that can serve as a foundation for advanced professional education. The undergraduate curriculum offers an appropriate balance of basic professional studies in architectural design, architectural history, practice and technology, structures, and s tudies in the arts and sciences.
The following statement is from the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB):
Most states require that an individual intending to become an architect hold an accredited degree. There are two types of degrees that are accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board: 1)The Bach- elor of Architecture, which requires a minimum of five years of study, and 2) the Master of Architecture, which requires a minimum of three years of study following an unrelated bachelor's degree or two years following a related pre-professional bachelor's degree. These professional degrees are structured to educate those who aspire to registration and licensure as architects.
The four-year pre-professional degree, where offered, is not accredited by NAAB. The pre-professional degree is useful to those wishing a foundation in the field of architecture, as preparation for either contin- ued education in a professional program or for employment options in fields related to architecture.
The accredited degree at the University of Illinois is the Master of Architecture.
Since 1967, the School of Architecture has operated a one-year study abroad program in Versailles, France, which is open to qualified students on a priority basis. Course offerings parallel those available to students on the Urbana-Champaign campus but stress the European context.
The School of Architecture occupies drafting rooms, lecture rooms, and offices in the Architecture Building, Flagg Hall, and Temple Hoyne Buell Hall. The Ricker Library of Architecture and Art is located in the Architecture Building.
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 proh ibited 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.

ARCH 199 ITA is not required for students transferring into the BSAS program. These students would replace the two credit hours with a general elective course.
2. The computer science requirement may be satisfied by completing one of the following courses: CS 101, 103, 105; GE 103.
3. General education course requirements are available elsewhere in this catalog. The quantitative reasoning requirement is satisfied by the required C S 105 course. The required sequence in History of Western Civilization (HIST 111 and HIST 112) also satisfies the humanities and the arts requirement. The Advanced Composition requirement may be fulfilled by either a separate, approved Advanced Composition course or by a Advannced Composition course which also satisfies one of the general educa tion distribution list requirements. If by the latter, electives would be taken to make up the credit deficiency.
4. The Composition I requirement may be fulfilled by any of the following courses or course sequences (placement is determined by examination): E S L 114 and 115; RHET 100, 101, and 102; RHET 103 and 104; RHET 105; RHET 108; or SPCOM 111 and 112.
5. For information about electives, see Fine and Applied Arts Student Electives, page 114. 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: ARCH 310, 311, and 312; or ARCH 313 and 314;or ARCH 309, 315, 316, 317, and 318.
