Architecture

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. 40% of major requirements must be completed at Judson.
2. 40% of major requirements must be upper division.
3. No grade lower than C- accepted for major requirements.
4. Architecture courses are sequential. Therefore, students must successfully pass a course with a minimum of C- to meet the prerequisite of the next course in the sequence. Example: ARC231X must be passed in order to take ARC232X, and ARC251X must be passed in order to be eligible to take ARC252X, and so on throughout the curriculum.
5. Students may take up to 6 credits of Graduate electives as an undergraduate, once they are seniors in credits earned.
