Integrative Project:

Students completing the integrative project as a non-funded internship must enroll in ARC 495 or ARC 496. The program requires students to make a formal proposal to the director of the Architectural Studies program in the semester that precedes the start of the integrative project. Students must receive approval before beginning the integrative project. A student may fulfill the integrative project with a CELS-funded internship (or one that is funded from another source), but will not also receive course credit toward the major for the experience. In order to meet the basic requirement of the major (12 courses), a student with a funded internship must complete eight electives toward the major.

Students may propose to complete an individual project (ARC 490, or in exceptional circumstances ARC 491) or Honors Thesis (ARC 497- ARC 498) to fulfill the integrative project requirement. The program requires students to make a formal proposal to the director of the Architectural Studies program in the semester that precedes the start of the integrative project. Students must receive approval before beginning the integrative project.
