The portfolio is developed in one of the prerequisite courses, Architecture 202. Although grades are not the most important predictor of success in architecture, students must have at least a 2.15 cumulative GPA and a 2.15 secondary GPA to be considered. Portfolios and academic records are reviewed during the summer and students are notified of their standing prior to the start of Autumn Quarter. The curriculum is sequential so that students must begin in the fall. The GEC is a body of courses designed to ensure that each student becomes acquainted with the basic areas of academic study.
Some majors also require completion of a foreign language requirement.
A total of 195 credit hours are required for the BS degree. This Major Series is provided for you by the staff of the Admissions Office of The Ohio State University.
