Summary
The School of Architecture proposes the following changes for the Master of Architecture I Curriculum:
- Clarify in the curriculum course listing that a History Topic (ARCH 5204/5205) and Technology Topic (ARCH 6306/6307) can be substituted for an Architectural Elective (ARCH 6050).
- Clarify in the curriculum course listing that ARCH 5204 and ARCH 5205 are equivalents, whereas ARCH 5205 is a fall semester course listing and ARCH 5204 is a spring and summer semester course listing.
- Clarify in the curriculum course listing that ARCH 6306 and ARCH 6307 are equivalents, whereas ARCH 6307 is a fall semester course listing and ARCH 6306 is a spring semester course listing.
- “Optional” Summer Session Courses should be listed for Year 1, as it is listed for Year 2. These courses can either be denoted as a footnote at the end of the curriculum course listing or embedded in the curriculum course listing. A footnote would be preferable so the curriculum course listing doesn’t appear as a year-round degree program since the courses are optional.
- Delete ARCH 7120 Graduate Summer International Study (3) as a course offering for the “Optional” Summer Session Courses.
- Change the course title for ARCH 7950 Graduate Summer Research Study (3) to ARCH 7950
Graduate SummerDirected Research Study (3). - Change the “Optional” Summer Session Courses listed to better reflect the true course offerings:
- ARCH 6050 Architectural Elective (3) & ARCH 5204 History Topic (3) (Summer Study Abroad)
- ARCH 6890 Directed Independent Study (1-3)
- ARCH 7950
Graduate SummerDirected Research Study (3)
