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 Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ’s two-year MArch degree. Completion of this Minor does not guarantee admission to the MArch or to other degree programs in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, 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 Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà should note that only those students who have completed a four-year degree are considered for admission.
