Introduction

Admission to the Minor is competitive and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Completion of the Architectural Studies Minor Field does not guarantee admission to the Master of Architecture or other degree programs in the Faculty of Environmental Design. Students interested in pursuing a Master of Architecture at the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà should note that only those students who have completed a 4 year degree will be considered for admission.

Contact Information

For further information visit the Faculty of Communication and Culture website, , or contact the Communication and Culture Faculty Office, 403.220.6343.

Admission

Successful completion of a minimum of four or more full-course equivalents.

Admission to the Minor Field will be granted in the Fall Session only. A minimum grade point average of 3.00 is required for consideration for admission, but does not guarantee admission. The grade point average for admission purposes will be calculated over the most recent course work to a maximum of five full-course equivalents (Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà courses and/or transferable courses taken at other institutions). All grades within a session will be included except where the number of courses taken within a session exceeds that required to fulfill (to a maximum of) five full-course equivalents, in which case the highest grades will be used. Spring and Summer Sessions courses taken after May 1 will not count towards determining admissibility.

The Architectural Studies minor has a fixed number of places for students.  Whenever demand exceeds capacity, enrolment  will be limited and students will be admitted on a competitive basis.

Note: Students whose registration has been inactive for two years after admission to the Minor will be required to reapply for admission and compete for the available places with other applicants.
