A fourth studio course was added to our program requirements in order to meet our CIDA accreditation standards. Junior transfer students may require five semesters to complete our introductory design elements course (FCS 104), architectural drafting course (FCS 242), and the four studio courses.

Alternatively, completion and portfolio review by the program coordinator of the following coursework may reduce the program to two years for junior transfers.

• architectural drafting
• perspective/paraline drawing
• 2D design
• 3D design
