Study Abroad


Students enrolled in the B.Arch program are eligible for off campus study in our studio based programs in NYC, Florence and London after completing 5 semesters of design studio. All students wishing to study in our global campus programs must have a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA and be in good judicial standing.

We also offer multiple non-studio based short term study programs through SU Abroad each year. Eligibility for non-studio based programs varies and is determined by the faculty member coordinating the program.

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 in 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 other colleges other than Arts and Sciences should note that it will be necessary to take additional credits beyond the 162 required for the B.Arch degree, since only 12 credits of open electives are included in the curriculum.

Information may also be obtained from departments offering minors not described in this catalog.

Landscape Architecture- SUNY ESF

Art History- College of Arts & Sciences
