Bachelor of Science, Architecture Major

Admission Requirements: The Bachelor of Science, Architecture Major has open admission for the general-interest route: applicants need only be 16 or older, with no fixed GPA, transcript, or portfolio required, consistent with Athabasca's institution-wide open-admission policy for most undergraduate programs. Applicants whose first language is not English must still meet Athabasca's general English language proficiency requirement (IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, TOEFL iBT 80 with a minimum essay score of 20, PTE Academic 59 with no skill below 51, Duolingo 105 with no band below 75, CAEL 60, or MELAB 80, or exemption via 15 transferable credits). Students who instead want the Architecture Canada/Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) Syllabus Diploma must separately meet RAIC's own minimum entry requirements, apply to RAIC by one of two annual deadlines before registering courses at AU, and submit letters of reference and an admission essay through RAIC.
