The College of Literature, Science and the Arts and Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning have developed a program directed toward a limited number of highly-qualified entering freshmen who are interested in transferring to the Architecture Program during their junior year to obtain the Bachelor of Science degree. Participation in the preferred admissions program does not guarantee acceptance to Year 5. Freshman applicants to the College of Literature, Science and the Arts should indicate their interest in preferred admission on the application form obtained from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Transfer students to the University are not eligible for preferred admissions. Students with more than two years of college-level work are also eligible for admission to Year 3.
Admission is limited to the fall term only.
The College does not admit students at the Year 4 level. Students are generally encouraged to submit these materials in early January since fall term grades are usually not available until this date. The personal statement, as requested on the application form, is required of all Year 3 applicants. A statement is typically one or two pages in length. Applicants are also strongly encouraged, but not required, to submit a portfolio as evidence of their graphic and design ability if they feel that submission of such material will strengthen their application.
