Required Courses
Pre-Architecture/Studio
Two studio courses (6 credit hours) in basic freehand drawing and design which provide students with drawing and visual design skills primarily used in architecture and related fields. Students without technical drawing experience should elect one course that includes orthographic, axonometric, and perspective drawing. Studio courses UM Arch 201, Arch 202, and Arch 218
English
One course (4 credit hours) in English composition. U-M Eng 124, 125, Complit 122,
Gtbooks 191, History 195, LHSP 125, RCCore 100.
Mathematics
One course (4 credit hours) in analytic geometry and calculus-functions and graphs, limits, derivatives, differentiation of algebraic and trigonometric functions. UM Math 115.
Physics
Two terms of physics, lecture plus lab, (8 credit hours minimum)-laws of motion, force, energy and power, gas laws, heat, wave motion, sound, electricity and magnetism, and light and optics. UM Physics 125/127 and 126/128, or 140/141 and 240/241.
Highly Recommended Courses
In addition to the courses required for admission to the junior year, a student must complete the following liberal arts distribution requirements in order to receive the B.S. degree. Each student is strongly encouraged to complete as much of this work as possible in the freshman and sophomore years. Classification of a course as Humanities, Natural Science, or Social Science is consistent with LSA policy, except that foreign language courses are considered as humanities and mathematics courses are considered as natural science.
Architectural History
A two course sequence (UM Arch 313 and 323) that surveys the history of architecture from antiquity to the present. Arch 313 is only offered in Fall term and 323 only in Winter term. Sophomore standing is required for these two courses.
Digital Media Arts
One course (3 credit hours) in geometric modeling, programming, or interactive media. Arch 211, Arch 421, and Arch 551.
Humanities
Two courses (6 credit hours) usually selected from archaeology, English, foreign language, history of art, linguistics, musicology, philosophy, religion or speech.
Natural Sciences
One course (3 credit hours) usually selected from anthropology, astronomy, biology, chemistry, ecology, geography, geology, mathematics (beyond Math 115), or physiology. Students who have not taken a chemistry course in high school must elect chemistry.
Social Sciences
Two courses (6 credit hours) usually selected from anthropology, communication, economics, geography, history, linguistics, political science, psychology, or sociology.
Courses taken to fulfill junior year admissions and Bachelor of Science degree requirements may not be taken pass/fail.
Beyond the course and distribution requirements specified above, a student may take other courses as open electives to earn a total of at least 60 credit hours. Since emphasis in the freshman and sophomore years is on liberal arts, not more than 7 credits in non-academic or technical areas can be applied toward the 60 credit hour requirement.
