The undergraduate professional architecture degree combines a general education with professional training. It is accredited by the national architecture accrediting body and meets educational requirements for licensure in every state.
The degree carries a STEM designation, which lets international graduates extend F-1 status for employment in America. Students must keep a minimum semester grade average and follow the prescribed course sequence to stay in good standing.
Graduation depends on meeting the requirements of the major together with the broader degree requirements of the admitting college. Students work with advisors to plan their courses, and the catalog sets out the policies on grades, declaring the major and academic standing that apply along the way. Prospective applicants should review the expectations of the admitting college before choosing this path.
