The first year of the architecture program is pre-professional. There are three required architecture courses in the first year which must be completed at The University of Arizona. Many transfer students find it advantageous to transfer in January in order to complete these three courses and qualify for the professional phase of the program for the following August. A maximum of 72 units of community college credit may be applied toward a bachelor's degree program at The University of Arizona. Students cannot be considered for admission into the professional phase until these courses are completed.
Elective units are transferable toward elective category requirements.
A total of 36 units of electives are required from the six groups below for completion of degree requirements.
