Undergraduate Minor in Architecture

Undergraduate Minor in Architecture

The architecture section offers an undergraduate minor in Architectural Studies.

Every engaged citizen will impact the physical environment, from renovating a family home to voting on large civic projects. Therefore, every student should be educated to make informed decisions when doing so. Through courses in this Minor, students arrive at an understanding of the world: a global ecology of diverse cultures linked by electronic media and the earth’s limited resources.

Because of architecture’s broad cultural impact, the Minor in Architectural Studies is geared towards a wide audience. The minor consists of 13 credit hours from the Section’s offerings. At least 6 credit hours must be in courses at the 3000-level or above. No permissions or approvals are required from the Section to pursue the Minor, though students should alert college or school advisors of their intent to complete the Minor, so that the correct plan can be added to their records and tracked in the degree auditing system.
