Other Electives
Open to all students in good academic standing:
An additional 42 credits of College of Arts and Sciences courses and 12 open elective-credit courses are required.
Minors
Architecture students may choose to pursue one of the many minors available on campus. Most minors consist of 18-credit programs and some must be taken in a particular sequence. Because of the limited number of arts and sciences and open elective credits contained within the B.Arch. program, careful planning is necessary for architecture students to complete a minor.
Students who wish to pursue a minor in schools or colleges other than Arts and Sciences should note that it will be necessary to take additional credits beyond the 162 credits required for the B.Arch. degree, since only 12 credits of open electives are included in the curriculum.
A detailed description of requirements for minors may be found under the
"Programs Offered" link at the top of this page. Information also may be obtained from departments offering minors not described in this catalog.
Examples of minors available:
Anthropology
Classics
Fine Arts
General Management Studies
Geography
History
History of Architecture
Mathematics
Philosophy
Sociology

Architecture faculty See Faculty listing above.
Non-architecture majors may, with the permission of their home school or college, pursue a 21-credit program leading to a minor in architecture. Successful completion of the minor requires a 2.0 GPA in the 21 credits. To enroll in the minor in architecture, students may obtain a “Declaration of Minor in Architecture” form from the School of Architecture, and then secure the appropriate signatures from their home college.
To complete the minor in architecture, students must take the courses listed below. No course substitutions may be made for minor requirements.
