Overview

Designed to provide the student with the creative problem-solving skills and critical thinking processes necessary to successfully complete upper-division baccalaureate work leading to the professional bachelor of architecture degree. The curriculum fulfills most of the first and second year requirements at some CSU, UC, and other baccalaureate institutions. Academic placement at the transfer institution is based upon evaluation of a portfolio of the student’s work. Students will be required to develop a portfolio of their work for purposes of evaluation by the transfer institution. Program Student Learning Outcomes: Develop and expand their technological skill-set and professional practices through the use of state-of-the-art equipment and software consistent with the profession. Enhance their international perspective by direct involvement in classroom discussions, design programs, design projects, historical design issues and cultural and social perspectives that are global in scope, including issues of sustainability and environmental sensitivity. Develop a greater sense of self-awareness and interpersonal skills by required participation in team projects. Further enhance critical communication skills by requiring them to express not only their solution to design problems, but also demonstrating the process of arriving at these solutions, orally, graphically and three-dimensionally to professionals and fellow students. Develop critical thinking skills in a problem/project based curriculum that requires solving spatial, social, engineering and sustainable design problems by developing creative and individual solutions.

Optional Practical Training (OPT)
Verify before applying

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
