GENERAL EDUCATION ELECTIVES (as defined by the university) must include at least one course in literature, one course in social sciences (sociology, psychology, economics, or political science courses) and one in ethics, which is covered by AP436.

Free electives may not include any courses with AP prefixes

FA201 and FA202 count as General Education electives, in addition to those listed separately.

* In lieu of MA108, MA121 , or an approved geometry course may be substituted. If you have passed MA108 or MA121 without taking MA107, you have completed the math requirement for the Program; a University requirement of two math courses still should be fulfilled.

** Students with a declared minor may substitute required courses in the minor for one or both of these AP electives in fourth year only.

In order to apply for the M.Arch. program, a overall GPA of 2.5 and a studio GPA of 2.75 is required. These GPA thresholds are subject to change.
