Notes

1. Elective Courses must include two in Architectural History [AR H Designation], one in Architectural Theory, one in Architectural Technology, and three Open Electives. See List of Electives attached each semester to Advising Notes.

2. Students planning to pursue Independent Design Research in lieu of ALAR 802 must take ALAR 821 Design Research Seminar. Apply for entrance into ALAR 821 Design Research Seminar in the spring of the 700–year. Taking the seminar does not abligate you to take ALAR 808 Independent Design Research Studio nor does it confirm that you will be accepted into that studio.

3. ARCH 823 Building Synthesis must be taken in conjunction with ARCH 801 Comprehensive Studio.
