Progression Requirements:

Requirements for Advancement to Third Year—Professional Level

Advancement review for the Bachelor of Science in Architecture occurs at the end of the second year. Upon completion of 60 semester hours, students are required to contact the Office of Advising and Academic Services in Taylor Hall to obtain a requirement sheet bearing a current evaluation of all progress toward completion of the students’ chosen degree program. Requirement evaluations are not a substitute for meeting with a faculty advisor. To advance, students must accomplish the following:

  • Comply with all specific course prerequisites.
  • Complete the following courses: AED 10001, 10002, 10101, 10102; ARCH 10111, 20101, 20102, 20112,20113, 20201, 20301, 20601, 20602; MATH 12002 (or MATH 12011 and 12012); PHY 13001, 13012, 13021
  • Earn a minimum 2.25 GPA in architecture courses.
  • Earn minimum 2.50 cumulative GPA.


Notes:

Architecture majors may not use the following courses to satisfy the architectural major requirements: ARCH 10001 Understanding Architecture; ARCH 10011 Global Architectural History I; and ARCH 10012 Global Architectural History II.

No more than 4 credit hours of PEB activities courses may apply to required semester hours for graduation.

No more than the first 16 credit hours of ROTC courses may apply to required semester hours for graduation. Veterans who have completed a minimum one year of active duty may receive PEB credit for military basic training according to branch of service, as follows:
