Architecture, Associate of Science

(Suggested Transfer Plan)

This program is the suggested transfer plan to follow if a student wishes to seek a professional degree in the field of architecture and then go on to become an architect. This program consists of the first two years of architectural education offered at most schools of architecture. There is currently an articulation agreement with Texas Tech University for transfer.  The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has adopted a Field of Study in Architecture course curricula for transfer into upper level higher education institution architecture programs. This degree plan also consists of the course listings delineated in that Field of Study document. The student planning to continue at another university should consult an adviser concerning degree requirements of the school to which transfer is intended.
