Minor Field of Specialization in Architectural Studies
The courses required for the Minor are equivalent to the courses in the MArch Foundation Year, and constitute the prerequisites for the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½â€™s two-year MArch degree. Completion of this Minor does not guarantee admission to the MArch or to other degree programs in the Faculty of Environmental Design, but it may reduce the number of courses that are required for an MArch. Students completing the Minor must apply for admission to the MArch degree. Students interested in pursuing an MArch at the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ should note that only those students who have completed a four-year degree are considered for admission. A three-year Bachelor of Communication and Culture coupled with the Minor is not sufficient. |
