Attention: To take maximum advantage of the opportunities the four-year degree offers for pre-professional development, cultivation of specialization in and related to the field, and/or preparation for graduate study, each candidate for the Architectural Studies degree will work with a faculty adviser to develop a program of study emphasizing the student’s special interests. Architectural Studies candidates may pursue an academic minor. The minor must be in a field other than the major area, and students must notify the department of their intention to minor. An academic minor ordinarily consists of 15-18 hours.
