Applicants who have earned a B.A. or B.S. degree in Architecture or another field from a regionally accredited institution may apply for admissions as a Post-B.A. student. Applicants must complete all of the application requirements above and supplement the application with
- an official copy of transcripts from any institution of study,
- three letters of recommendation from those familiar with their academic and/or professional work,
- $100 application fee,
