The
study of Architecture brings together a community of
students, faculty, and staff with a broad range of interests
and expertise in creative design, building and computer
technology, issues of social and ecological responsibility,
and the scholarly study of the history and theory of the
built landscape. In this wide range of interests is a common
concern for constructing and maintaining the highest quality
in our built and natural environments. To this end, the
school offers academically and professionally oriented
programs in several related fields, including a
professionally accredited program in architecture
Digital Platform Requirements. All students entering
or continuing within the architectural studies major or
M.Arch. program must own and maintain their own computer
platform and accompanying software within the school's
design studio setting. Specifications and specifics for use
of the school's network are available on the school's Web
site.

Undergraduate Program
Degree. B.S. The undergraduate program in
architectural studies is a preprofessional degree in
architecture that provides an academic foundation from which
an individual might develop a career in one of the many
aspects of the building industry. For those seeking advanced
work on the graduate level, it also provides a thorough
preparation for the professionally accredited Master of
Architecture. Please see the discussion under Professional
Accreditation below.
Admission. Students who wish to major in
architectural studies should first meet with the
departmental undergraduate advisor to receive an orientation
to the major.
Prearchitecture requirements. Any student who is
interested in the architectural studies major may request to
be classified as prearchitecture. During the freshman and
sophomore years the prearchitecture student is encouraged to
explore a variety of subject areas and methodologies of
critical inquiry while simultaneously strengthening
quantitative and writing skills. This process is further
developed with course work which particularly strengthens
the foundation study required for the architecture
curriculum. The course work required of the prearchitecture
student is that which completes the University and General
Education requirements for graduation as well as the
prearchitecture required courses. At the end of the
sophomore year, the student makes application for admission
to full major status in architectural studies. Resource
limitations and accreditation requirements limit the number
of students who can be accepted into the major each year.
Admission is once annually through a competitive process.
Upon admission to the major the student is immersed in a
highly focused study of architecture beginning with basic
skills and principles and building to an understanding of
the many components which constitute the discipline of
architecture. Major requirements are met through a four
semester course of study during which a group of required,
corequisite courses are taken each semester.

--------------------------
*In order to receive credit toward the major
for this course, it must be taken after admission to the
major.
Special Requirements. All required prearchitecture
courses must be taken for a letter grade and, if registered
for more than once, the grade from the second registration
will be used. No courses in the major may be repeated
without the written permission of the dean, and if repeated
will carry restrictions for purposes of advancement to the
graduate program. Students in the major not registering for
the required courses each successive semester will be
dropped from the major unless prior written permission is
obtained from the dean.
Residency requirements for the major consist of the
required courses listed above for the junior and senior
years. If any of these courses are waived based on previous
academic work, they must be replaced with another approved
course. Course work more than ten years old may not be
accepted toward a degree.
In major courses, a grade of B or better indicates that
the work is appropriate as a foundation for graduate work in
the architecture program. Grades of C+, C, C- indicate that
the work meets a standard acceptable for undergraduate work
but is not acceptable as a foundation for continuation at
the graduate level.
All projects or other student work produced as part of an
architecture class become the property of the College and
will be returned to students at the college's discretion.
Students should also consult the Architecture Policy
Handbook for additional procedures and requirements.
Costs and Financial Aid. A special program fee is
assessed for each semester a student is registered in the
architectural studies major. Full information is available
at 581-8254. In addition to financial aid available through
the Office of Financial Aid of the University, the College
of Architecture + Planning offers limited scholarship
assistance to students in the final year of the major only.
M.Arch., M.S.
in architectural studies.
Graduate programs are offered in professional studies in architecture (professional degree) and advanced studies in architecture.
All
students seeking admission to a program in Architecture
must meet admission requirements of The Graduate School as
outlined under Admission in the Graduate Study section of
this catalog. Equivalency of transferred work is determined
by the College of Architecture + Planning. Students whose
first language is not English must pass the TOEFL
examination with a score of at least 550. Students are
referred to Digital Platform Requirements.
The
professional program leading to the Master of Architecture (M.Arch.)
Degree prepares students for careers as licensed architects.
In
the United States, most state registration boards require a
degree from an accredited professional degree program as a
prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural
Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency
authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in
architecture, recognizes three types of degrees: the
Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and
the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted a
6-year, 3-year, or 2-year term of accreditation, depending
on the extent of its conformance with established
educational standards.
Master’s degree programs may consist of a
preprofessional undergraduate degree and a professional
graduate degree that, when earned sequentially, constitute
an accredited professional education. However, the
preprofessional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an
accredited degree.
Students
may enter the Master of Architecture program from several
different backgrounds:
Students who hold a B.S. in architectural studies from
the University of Utah may be admitted to the Master of
Architecture program as outlined under Degree Requirements
below. Applicants need to submit an Application for
Admission to Graduate School to the University before
January 1st, and a portfolio in accordance with the
portfolio guidelines found on the school's Web site to the
College of Architecture + Planning during the time frame
also listed on the school's Web site.
Students who completed a preprofessional degree in
architecture at another university may be admitted to the
Master of Architecture program as outlined under Degree
Requirements below. If necessary, based on a portfolio,
transcript review and possible diagnostic examination, some
prerequisite work may be required. Applicants should submit
a portfolio, two letters of recommendation, and a written
statement of purpose directly to the College of Architecture
+ Planning, in addition to submitting an Application for
Admission to Graduate School and required documentation to
the University.
Students who hold a baccalaureate degree in a field other
than architecture may be admitted to a three year plus one
summer course of study, referred to as the 3+ Program, to
obtain the Master of Architecture degree. Prior to
admission, students need to have completed one course in
calculus and a one year, trigonometry based, college level,
general physics course. They should possess at least an
introductory-level ability in drawing with emphasis in free
hand sketching. They should also possess basic competency in
word processing and spread sheet computer applications.
Applicants should submit a portfolio, two letters of
recommendation, and a written statement of purpose to
directly to the College of Architecture + Planning, in
addition to submitting an Application for Admission to
Graduate School and required documentation to the
University. Upon admission, the student registers for a
group of intensive courses during the summer. The following
fall and spring semesters, the student registers for courses
that are similar to those listed above for the senior year
of the B.S. degree in architectural studies. With the
successful completion of those courses, the student then
completes the requirements of the Master of Architecture
program as outlined under Degree Requirements below.
Students who complete a full architecture program not
accredited by NAAB (usually a foreign architecture degree)
may be admitted to the Master of Architecture program as
outlined under Degree Requirements below. If necessary,
based on a portfolio, transcript review and possible
diagnostic examination, some prerequisite work may be
required. A minimum of four semesters in residence are
required for the M.Arch. degree. Applicants should submit a
portfolio, two letters of recommendation, and a written
statement of purpose directly to the College of Architecture
+ Planning, in addition to submitting an Application for
Admission to Graduate School and required documentation to
the University
The
Master of Architecture program is predicated upon a strong
preprofessional degree in architecture. The curriculum
affords a degree of choice and flexibility where the
graduate student is responsible for assembling, within
certain guidelines, a program tailored to the individual's
interests and intentions. The M.Arch. curriculum is composed
of several study areas. In most areas a choice of courses is
offered. The student selects from these offerings to meet
the amount of study required for the area. Three areas are
exceptions to this pattern: Professional Practice, where a
series of four session long courses are required; Master's
Project, where a two course series is required, although the
student selects the topic of the project; and electives.
Electives may be drawn from the offerings in architecture
and planning as well as a broad list of graduate-level
course offered by the University. Courses taken in the
M.Arch study areas which exceed the number of courses
required for the area also may be used as electives.
Complete guidelines for electives are found in the
Architecture Policy Handbook.

*Must include one semester of 6015 during the first year of graduate work.
The
program is particularly appropriate as a post-professional
degree in architecture. More specific discussion of program
structure may be found on the College of Architecture +
Planning Web site. Applicants will hold a professional
degree in architecture or an allied field. They should
submit a portfolio, two letters of recommendation, and a
written statement of purpose directly to the College of
Architecture + Planning, in addition to submitting an
Application for Admission to Graduate School and required
documentation to the University. If necessary, based on a
portfolio, transcript review and possible diagnostic
examination, some prerequisite work may be required. The
student in conjunction with an advisory committee, designs a
program of study in accordance with guidelines established
by the University and College of Architecture + Planning.
Students
in all graduate programs are expected to make timely
progress toward completion of their program. Timely progress
is defined as completing the equivalent of three semester
courses per semester; progress at less than this rate
without prior written permission of the dean will result in
dismissal from the program. No graduate course may be
repeated without prior written permission of the dean. A
student may not register for a course in any M.Arch. study
area if they have incomplete work pending in that area.
Students whose graduate GPA falls below established
standards will be placed on probation; see the Architecture
Policy Handbook for restrictions and requirements concerning
probation. All projects or other student work produced as
part of an architecture class become the property of the
College of Architecture + Planning and will be returned to
students at the college's discretion.
Graduate students are encouraged to obtain architectural
or allied office experience during the summer. Foreign
students are expected to obtain 12 months of practical
training, either as part-time work before graduation,
full-time work following graduation, or a combination of the
two.
Students should also consult the Architecture Policy
Handbook for additional procedures and requirements.
A
tuition differential is assessed on the number of hours
taken for students in the M.Arch. and M.S. programs. See
Tuition Rate Schedules for architecture under Tuition and
Fees on the University web site. In addition to financial
aid available through the Office of Financial Aid of the
University, the College of Architecture + Planning offers
both teaching assistantships and scholarships to its
graduate students. Approximately two thirds of graduate
students receive some form of financial aid from the College
of Architecture + Planning. Applications for teaching
assistantships and scholarships are received and awards made
during spring semester for the next academic year.
