College of Architecture

The College of Architecture has a five-year program leading to the Bachelor of Architecture degree. While some required general education and elective course work may be completed at the Maricopa County Community Colleges, students who desire to complete the architecture program in the shortest possible time should transfer to The University of Arizona after one semester for the Spring term. Students who complete the basic first-year courses and up to the complete AGEC at the Maricopa County Community Colleges may find themselves better prepared for the rigorous curriculum in the College of Architecture.

In either case a minimum of nine additional semesters will be required after transfer.

The first year of the architecture program is pre-professional. Admission into the professional phase (second through fifth year) is selective and competitive and occurs only once each year in June for entry into the fall semester. There are three required architecture courses in the first year which must be completed at The University of Arizona. Many transfer students find it advantageous to transfer in January in order to complete these three courses and qualify for the professional phase of the program for the following August. A maximum of 46 credits of community college course work may be applied toward the B. Arch. degree program at The University of Arizona. Refer to The UA Desert Lynx On-line Catalog or contact the associate dean, College of Architecture (621-6751) for more information.
