School Information

The School of Architecture recognizes design as a synthesis of thinking, analyzing and making — an iterative process that engages, issues of space, historical precedent, sustainability, ecology, urbanity, landscape, built-form, and construction toward innovation.

Curriculum

This minor is open to all UF undergraduates. Interested students must meet with the DCP College Advisor to apply. Additional courses may apply to the minor with advisor approval.

Transfer students may transfer up to 6 approved credits and must submit syllabus material to the DCP College Advisor prior to admittance approval. Because there is no non-UF equivalent for ARC 1000, and as it is required for minor, it is taught Summer B and Fall semesters.

Architecture major students who switch their major prior to the end of their second year can count ARC 1701 and ARC 1702 towards the minor, one as a substitute for ARC 1720. Coursework may also count towards requirements for other DCP minors such as BSSBE minor. Additional 3000- and 4000-level electives may be considered with an advisor’s approval.

Required Courses

9 of the 15 credits must be taken at UF and 6 credits must be at 3000-level or higher.
