The degree, Bachelor of Architecture, is offered in a five-year curriculum which focuses on the design laboratory. The studio sequence consists of three segments: A three-year basic core, a four-quarter group of topic studios taken jointly by fourth- and fifth-year students, and a culminating senior project. All work becomes the property of the department with superior work retained for display and archival use.
As a result of state impaction requirements, the department admits only a small number of applicants who are not residents of California to the undergraduate program.
Course work within the Department of Architecture is open only to those students who have been admitted to the Department and are designated Architecture majors.
As of fall 2007, all undergraduate and graduate students entering College of Environmental Design majors are required to purchase a computer that meets departmental specifications. All applicants are invited to check with their department office or go to the department’s website to obtain these specifications. Financial aid assistance for this computer purchase is available to students qualifying for Federal Student Aid (requested via the FAFSA application). Please contact the University’s Office of Financial Aid (909-869-3700) for additional information.
Prior to graduation, all students are required to fulfill 500 hours of work. A minimum of 250 hours must be with a registered architect and the remaining 250 hours may be with a faculty-approved alternative. This work must be verified by the department coordinator of Professional Practice and Cooperative Education.
The Department of Architecture is a member of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture. Courses are taught by a faculty of professionals engaged in practice, education, and research.
The Bachelor of Architecture as a first professional degree (B.ARCH) is accredited by the National Architecture Accrediting Board. In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted a 6-year, 3-year, or 2-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.
Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may consist of a preprofessional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree that, when earned, sequentially, constitute an accredited professional education. However, the preprofessional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.
California State Polytechenic University, Pomona, College of Environmental Design, Department of Architecture offers the following NAAB-accredited degree programs:
B. Arch. (246 undergraduate quarter credits)
M.Arch. (non-pre-professional degree + 160 quarter credits)
For information regarding the graduate program, refer to the Graduate Studies section of this catalog.
Admission to the Program
Because the program offered by the Department of Architecture is oversubscribed, applications are accepted only during the initial filing period of October 1 – November 30, prior to admission in the following fall quarter.
All candidates must meet regular University admission standards as well as additional standards required by the Department of Architecture. For specific admission information, please contact the College of Environmental Design Office of Student Affairs at (909) 869-2670 or visit the Department of Architecture website at www.csupomona.edu/~arc.
Among other requirements, transfer applicants to Architecture must complete all of their “Golden Four” courses (college-level English composition, speech, critical thinking and mathematics) with a grade of ”C” or better. These courses shall all have been completed by the end of the fall quarter in which the student applies to the program (ex: by the end of fall 2003 for entrance in fall 2004). Spring 2003 enrollment in any of these courses will not be counted as meeting this requirement.
Applicants are notified of their admission status by the Department in late April. ProgramsMajorMasterCoursesArchitecture
