Culminating Events:
Design Studio Project:
In the Intensive Design Track, students are required to take up to 18 credits of design studio and 6 credits of representation courses. Placement is assessed at the time of application and is based on the student鈥檚 portfolio and transcript.
In the Professional Track, students are required to complete four design studios or three design studios and a thesis.
Design Thesis:
Students can undertake an independent design thesis. This option is a two-term, two-course sequence: ARCH听9991 in the Fall, and ARCH听9996 in the Spring. The result is a pre-design position paper and design project analysis, culminating in a design thesis project presentation and written/graphic documentation of the work.
