Offered in: Savannah
B.F.A.*/M.Arch. Degree
* The course of study for the B.F.A. in architecture consists of 180 credit hours and includes all the required and elective courses, with the exception of the 700-level courses and 35 credit hours of graduate-level electives. Successful candidates for the professional M.Arch. degree must complete the entire program of 270 credit hours shown here.
† Otherwise qualified applicants who have SAT math scores lower than 540, have ACT math scores lower than 23, or are unable to demonstrate an aptitude for the study of mathematics and science, may be admitted to the architecture program on a provisional basis. One condition stipulates that the student must complete MATH 101 with a grade of 2.0 or higher, and satisfactorily complete MATH 201 and PHYS 201 with a grade of 2.0 or higher in order to pursue the professional M.Arch. degree. The credit hours earned in MATH 101 may be applied as an undergraduate General Education Elective toward the 270 credit hours required for the M.Arch. degree.
Choose one of these two courses.
# ARCH 721 Landscape Design for Urban Design or ARCH 765 Emerging Urban Issues will also satisfy this elective.
** Choose one of the following courses: ARCH 714 Advanced Parametric Design and Generative Modeling Strategies for the Building Arts, ARCH 715 Construction Management, ARCH 728 Architectural Craft and Tectonics, ARCH 730 Architecture Design Management, ARCH 735 Site Plan Design and Development, ARCH 736 Applied Structures, ARCH 743 Algorithmic Form, ARCH 755 Comprehensive Structural Design, ARCH 760 Sustainable Design, ARCH 772 Master Builder, ARCH 781 Landscape Design, ELDS 745 Digital Prototyping and Fabrication Methods.
†† The Focused Elective is assigned to coincide with the content of ARCH 747 Graduate Architecture Studio IV.
‡‡ Diversified Electives cannot have any architectural content. Courses with subject codes of ARCH, ARLH, ARTH, DECA, ELDS, HIPR, INDS, SUST and URBA will not satisfy these requirements.
Students may not progress into the design studio sequence until they have successfully completed DSGN 225 Architectural Fundamentals Studio III, and then only upon faculty recommendation and approval by the chair of the department and the dean of the School of Building Arts.
During the fourth-year studio sequence and upon completion of 150 credit hours, students wishing to proceed with the final 90 credit hours of the professional M.Arch. program must apply to the architecture department for admission into the fifth and sixth year of the professional M.Arch. program and successfully complete a portfolio review before proceeding. All coursework for the first four years of the program must be completed prior to entering the fifth year of the program (graduate-level courses). In addition, all coursework must be completed for any secondary, double major or minor program prior to entering the fifth year of the professional M.Arch. program. Consult your faculty adviser in selecting elective courses.
