The curriculum is designed so that the only required course during the fourth year spring semester is the design studio. This may be taken in any of the semester off-campus programs sponsored by the College or at any accredited architecture program. Most other courses taken off-campus can be used to fulfill general and/ or professional elective requirements.

A Comprehensive Design Project is no longer required, and students may select another design studio option, including a second off-campus program. Please note that fifth year students are discouraged from going to Krakow, as this will delay graduation (the semester in Krakow is approximately February 20 – June 15.)

A DARS report should be reviewed by students to ensure all degree requirements will be completed. It is strongly recommended that all fourth year students consult with the Student Services Center in order to review graduation requirements.

Prior to enrollment in Arc 480, in the fall semester of fifth year, studnets are asked to propose a program analysis topic. Those students opting for a Self-Directed Design Project must have this topic approved on the basis of scope, scale and appropriateness of subject.

Students must apply for graduation with the University Registrar's Office after the spring semester and before the end of the summer semester prior to entering fifth year.
