COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN 197

College ofArchitecture and

EnvironmentalDesign

John Meunier, M.Arch.Dean

PURPOSE

The practice of architecture and en-vironmental design is the culturally re-sponsible shaping of our environ-ment—from the scale of the cities inwhich we live to the buildings and inte-riors we inhabit and the artifacts andproducts we use. What we design mustbe durable, useful, beautiful, appropri-ate to its context, and not a waste of re-sources, energy, or materials. Design-ing our environment is an art, a tech-nology, and a social science that has ahistory as long as human culture. Thegoals of the faculty include offeringstudents an education that becomes thebasis for life-long growth and improve-ment as professionals, advancing thediscipline in both theory and practice,and improving the quality of the envi-ronment by making the expertise andknowledge of the faculty available toother professionals and to the public.

ORGANIZATION

Academic Organization. The collegeis composed of three academic units:

School of ArchitectureSchool of DesignSchool of Planning and

Landscape ArchitectureAdministration of the college is the

responsibility of the dean, who in turnis responsible to the president of theuniversity through the senior vice presi-dent and provost.

College Facilities. All the college’sprograms are housed in a single com-plex. Facilities include the Architec-ture and Environmental Design Li-brary; computer laboratories; designstudios; the Gallery of Design; lectureand seminar rooms; the Media Center;offices for faculty, the administration,and student organizations; the shop; theslide collection; and technology labora-tories. The bridge between the originalbuilding and the expansion places thecollege’s review and display space atthe heart of the complex.

Architecture and Environmental De-sign Library. As a branch of the uni-versity libraries, the Architecture andEnvironmental Design Library provideseasy access to books, periodicals, andreference materials for students, fac-ulty, and the professional community.The collection includes the Architec-ture Library, with approximately35,000 volumes, and special research

collections on the work of BlaineDrake, Victor Olgyay, Paolo Soleri,Calvin Straub, and Frank LloydWright.

Gallery of Design. The Gallery of De-sign is one of eight university galleriesand museums. It provides space fortraveling exhibitions and exhibitions ofstudent and faculty work.

Special Facilities. College programsare supplemented by several kinds ofspecial laboratories. New spaces in-clude the computer-aided design andgraphics lab, the high-bay research lab,the lighting lab, the solar research lab,the solar roofdeck work area, an exten-sive shop equipped to handle wood,plastic, and metal, the Materials Re-source Facility, space for the college’scommunity outreach activities and pro-grams of the Herberger Center for De-sign Excellence, and the Joint UrbanDesign Program, which also has a stu-dio at the ASU Downtown Center. Thecollege’s photographic lab and dark-room provide high-quality equipmentand space for research projects. TheMedia Center includes traditionalgraphics and audiovisual equipment aswell as portable gear. The slide collec-tion, with more than 100,000 images, isavailable for instructional use, and thecollege maintains an array of materialstesting equipment. The college is alsohome to a computer site managed byComputing and Network ConsultingServices.

ADMISSION

Lower-Division Programs. A new ortransfer student who has been admittedto the university and has selected a col-lege major is admitted to the lower-di-vision program of his or her choice. Aseparate application procedure is re-quired for entry to upper-division pro-grams and graduate programs. Accep-tance into lower-division programsdoes not guarantee acceptance to up-per-division programs. Acceptanceinto lower-division programs requires aTOEFL score of 500 or higher for in-ternational students whose native lan-guage is not English.

Transfer Credits. While the univer-sity accepts credits transferred fromother accredited institutions, transfercredits are not applied to specific de-gree programs until reviewed and ac-cepted by the appropriate academic

198

units. Transfer course work must beequivalent in both content and level ofoffering. In addition, a review ofsamples of work (portfolio format)from previous studio classes is re-quired. Change of major transfers intothe College of Architecture and Envi-ronmental Design, or one of its pro-gram areas, requires a minimum 2.50cumulative GPA.

Upper-Division Programs. Admis-sion to upper-division programs iscompetitive. Consult requirements ofeach major for details. Students apply-ing to more than one program mustmake a separate application to each andmust submit separate portfolios. Stu-dents not enrolled at ASU when theyapply to upper-division programs mustalso make a separate application to theuniversity. Students not admitted to theupper division are not dismissed fromthe university and may reapply or maytransfer to other programs. Studentswho plan to reapply should contact acollege academic advisor. Transfersinto upper-division programs are con-sidered only if vacancies occur, andsuch transfers are limited to studentswith equivalent course work who arecompetitive with continuing students.Acceptance into some upper-divisionprograms requires a TOEFL score of550 or higher for international studentswhose native language is not English.

Graduate Programs. For admissionto the graduate programs in the Collegeof Architecture and Environmental De-sign, see requirements and proceduresunder the respective academic units inthis catalog and in the Graduate Cata-log. Students must make separate ap-plications and be admitted by both theGraduate College and the academicunit administering the degree programselected.

ADVISING

While the college and its academicunits provide academic advising, it isultimately the responsibility of eachstudent to fulfill academic and programrequirements. Advising and recordkeeping for lower-division programsare the responsibility of a college aca-demic advisor (located in ARCH 141).Records for upper-division programstudents are kept in the appropriate aca-demic units, and advising is by the fac-ulty and the head of the academic unit.General career advising is available

from all faculty members. Administra-tion of program requirements is the re-sponsibility of the head of the academicunit and the dean.

Appeals Procedures. Academic ap-peals and requests for variances aretypically made first to the student’s ad-visor and then, if necessary, to the headof the appropriate academic unit, theGovernance and Grievance Committee,and, finally, the dean. A student whofeels unjustly treated in academic orother matters relating to his or her ca-reer as a student may contact a collegeacademic advisor or may take the griev-ance to the college ombudsperson.

DEGREES

Undergraduate. The college offerscurricula for four- or five-year degreeprograms: the Bachelor of Science inDesign degree, the Bachelor of Sciencedegree in Environmental Resources, theBachelor of Science in Landscape Ar-chitecture degree, and the Bachelor ofScience in Planning degree. A studentselects one of the majors within the re-spective academic units shown in the“College of Architecture and Environ-mental Design Degrees, Majors, andConcentrations” table, page 199.

Each undergraduate program is di-vided into a lower-division and an up-per-division program. Completion of alower-division program does not guar-antee advancement to an upper-divisionprogram.

Graduate. The Graduate Collegeawards the master’s degree to candi-dates who have successfully completedgraduate programs offered in this col-lege. Five degrees are offered:

1. National Architectural AccreditingBoard (NAAB)-accredited profes-sional degree Master of Architec-ture (M.Arch.);

2. Planning Accreditation Board(PAB)-accredited professional de-gree Master of Environmental Plan-ning (M.E.P.);

3. Master of Science (M.S.) degreewith a major in Environmental Re-sources;

4. Master of Science (M.S.) degreewith a major in Building Design;and

5. Master of Science in Design(M.S.D.) degree with majors in In-dustrial Design and Interior Design.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

Students seeking the Bachelor ofScience in Design degree must satisfac-torily complete a curriculum of a mini-mum of 120 to 150 semester hours, de-pending on the major. The Bachelor ofScience in Planning degree requires120 semester hours. The Bachelor ofScience in Landscape Architecture de-gree requires 120 semester hours. TheBachelor of Science degree (with a ma-jor in Environmental Resources) re-quires 120 semester hours.

The total semester hours required foreach major are as follows:

Architectural Studies 120Design Science 120Environmental Resources 120Housing and Urban Development 120Industrial Design 120Interior Design 150Landscape Architecture 120Urban Planning 120

Graduation Requirements. In addi-tion to fulfilling college and major re-quirements, students seeking a bache-lor’s degree must meet all universitygraduation requirements. See pages66–70.

General Studies Requirement. Allstudents enrolled in a baccalaureate de-gree program must satisfy a universityrequirement of a minimum of 35 se-mester hours of approved course workin General Studies, as described onpages 71–74. General Studies coursesare listed on pages 74–94, in the coursedescriptions, in the Schedule ofClasses, and in the Summer SessionsBulletin.

College of Architecture and Environ-mental Design degree requirementssupplement the General Studies re-quirement. Each curriculum offered bythe college includes sufficient approvedcourse work to fulfill the General Stud-ies requirement.

Special Honors at Graduation. Atthe time of graduation, students withacademic distinction are awarded therespective designation cum laude,magna cum laude, or summa cumlaude. Also see university require-ments for graduation with academicrecognition, page 70.

ACADEMIC STANDARDS

Lower-Division Retention Standards.A student in one of the college’s lower-division programs is placed on proba-tion when he or she fails to maintain acumulative GPA of 2.00. Students onprobation must observe rules or limita-

tions the college imposes on their pro-bation as a condition of retention. If,after one semester on probation, theoverall GPA is not at least a 2.00 andthe conditions of probation have notbeen met, the student is disqualified fora minimum of two full academic se-mesters. Appeals may be made to thecollege Governance and GrievanceCommittee. Also see university reten-tion standards, pages 63–64.

Upper-Division Retention Standards.Students in upper-division programsare placed on probation when they failto meet any of the following require-ments:

1. failure, incomplete, or withdrawalfrom any required course;

2. a semester GPA below 3.00;3. a grade of “D” or “E” in a design

studio or a design laboratory; or4. violation of the college Code of

Student Responsibilities or any ad-mission agreement.

Students on probation must observerules or limitations that the college oracademic unit places on their probationas a condition of continuation. Stu-dents may be removed from a program(but not necessarily the university) if

200

1. the requirements imposed are notmet or the probationary semesterGPA is below 3.00 after one se-mester on probation;

2. failures or withdrawals in requiredcourses are not resolved at the nextoffering of the course;

3. failures or withdrawals from re-quired sequential courses are notresolved; or

4. incompletes in required sequentialcourses are not completed beforethe first day of class of the next se-mester.

A student removed from a programis not guaranteed reinstatement in theprogram even if probation requirements

or requirements placed on readmissionare fulfilled. Appeals may be madefirst to the appropriate academic unitand, if necessary, to the college Gover-nance and Grievance Committee. Alsosee university retention standards,pages 63–64.

Incompletes. It is the student’s respon-sibility to contact the instructor regard-ing the process of requesting and fulfill-ing an incomplete. Tardiness in con-tacting the instructor may result in afailing grade. Students must obtain anofficial “Request for Grade of Incom-plete” form from their academic units.The completed form must include a jus-tification, a listing of requirements that

have not been fulfilled, and a proposedschedule of completion. The instructorreviews the request, proposes modifica-tions if necessary, and submits a copyof the request to the appropriate pro-gram head (for upper-division students)or a college academic advisor (forlower-division students). An incom-plete in an upper-division course that isa prerequisite for sequential courses au-tomatically places the student on proba-tion and denies enrollment in subse-quent courses. Also see university re-quirements on incompletes, page 60.

Withdrawals. University withdrawalregulations apply to lower-divisioncourses. In addition, because the col-lege’s upper-division curricula aremodular and sequential and becausespace in the programs is limited, a stu-dent is expected to progress through thecurriculum with his or her class. With-drawal from a required upper-divisioncourse automatically places a studenton probation. Withdrawal from a re-quired upper-division course in a re-quired sequence automatically removesthe student from the program beginningthe subsequent semester. Also see uni-versity requirements on withdrawals,page 61.

Credit/No Credit. The only coursesaccepted toward graduation with agrade of pass/fail or credit/no credit areinternships and field studies.

Foreign Study. The College of Archi-tecture and Environmental Designmaintains active communications withseveral foreign institutions offeringprofessional course work similar to theprograms of the college. This opportu-nity is available for students who wishto pursue professional studies at a for-eign institution in lieu of residentcourse work for up to one academicyear. Any interested student is encour-aged to inform the head of his or heracademic unit at the earliest possibledate of any intentions for foreign study.

Exchange programs currently existwith the Stuttgart University, Germany;Wageningen Agricultural University,the Netherlands; the University ofValladolid, Spain; the University ofBritish Columbia, Canada; and the Au-tonomous University of Guadalajara,Mexico. Foreign study programs inFrance, Italy, and Spain and summeroff-campus courses are offered by theSchool of Architecture. The School ofPlanning and Landscape Architecture



offers a summer landscape planningcourse in Europe.

Students are also encouraged to con-sider foreign travel for either a semesteror an entire academic year. A leave ofabsence must be requested for foreignstudy and foreign travel. Each aca-demic unit reserves the right to evaluatethe content and the student’s compe-tency in each of the courses completedat foreign institutions.

Internships. Upper-division studentsin the college are required to completean internship program during the sum-mer, normally between the third andfourth years of study. In the Environ-mental Resources degree program theinternship is offered as an elective andis not required.

Code of Student Responsibility. Thepurpose of this code is to promulgatestandards of conduct for students of theCollege of Architecture and Environ-mental Design and to establish proce-dures for reviewing violations. Stu-dents are expected to support and main-tain the highest professional standardswith regard to their individual conductand their personal and common envi-ronments in the college. Copies of theCode of Student Responsibilities areavailable from the Office of the Deanand a college academic advisor.

Attendance. Attendance is expected atall classes, laboratories, and seminarsand is a criterion for evaluating perfor-mance. Absences and missing workdue to absences may result in failure ofa course or academic probation. A stu-dent may not be excused from attend-ing a class except for medical reasonsor other serious personal conditions be-yond his or her control. Requests forspecial consideration must be submittedin writing to the instructor. If accepted,a student may be allowed to take a lateor special examination or to submitmissing work. Tardiness in contactingthe instructor is cause for denying ac-ceptance. See university policy regard-ing religious holidays, page 1.

Employment. It is difficult for stu-dents in professional programs to carrypart-time employment while in school.Acceptance to any of the college’s up-per-division programs presumes a com-

mitment of a minimum of eight hours aday for professional studies. Priorwork experience is not a requirementfor admission to upper-division pro-grams.

Retention of Student Work. The col-lege reserves the right to retain any orall projects or work submitted to meetcourse requirements for the college’sfuture instructional, publication, andexhibition use.

Student Leave of Absence. Upper-di-vision students who withdraw fromclasses or do not continue sequentiallyin enrollment must request both a leaveof absence and readmission in writingfrom the head of the appropriate aca-demic unit. Leaves of absence are forone-year increments and may be ap-proved for personal reasons, travel,work, or additional study in other disci-plines. A student on leave must makethe written request for readmission be-fore May 1 for the fall semester of theyear of return or before November 1 forthe spring semester so that a space maybe reserved. Failure to request a leaveof absence may result in removal fromthe program.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS

The college and its academic unitsregularly sponsor lecture series, sympo-sia, and exhibits. In addition, facultyand students attend regional and na-tional meetings of educators and pro-fessionals. Academic units sponsorstudent awards programs and regularlyinvite professionals and critics to re-views of student projects. The collegealso participates with the UniversityHonors College, offering courses ac-cepted in that college.

PURPOSE

The architecture program at ASU of-fers an integrated curriculum of profes-sional courses and focuses on the de-sign laboratory. The program reflectsan awareness of the complex factors af-fecting the quality of the built environ-ment. The program seeks throughscholarship, teaching, research, design,and community service to develop thediscipline and the knowledge necessaryto address the important environmentaland design issues faced by society.

In addition to developing knowledgeand skills in architectural design, build-ing technology, and professional prac-tice, students are encouraged to selectelectives from a broad range of ap-proved courses both within the collegeand across the university. These elec-tives may be selected to devise a minor,to further professional study, or insome other fashion to enrich the stu-dent’s academic experience.

ORGANIZATION

The School of Architecture’s pro-gram is organized by the faculty underthe direction and administration of thedirector and standing committees of thefaculty.

DEGREES AND MAJORS

The faculty of the School of Archi-tecture offer three degrees: the Bachelorof Science in Design with a major inArchitectural Studies, the Master of Ar-chitecture, and the Master of Sciencewith a major in Building Design.

The program in architecture culmi-nates with the professional degree Mas-ter of Architecture, which is accreditedby the National Architectural Accredit-ing Board (NAAB). Completion of theprogram is intended to take six years.

Admission to the professional pro-gram in architecture is competitive andbegins after completion of lower-divi-sion requirements (see “Admission” be-low, and “Degree Requirements,” page204). The professional program in-cludes two years of upper-divisionstudy leading to the Bachelor of Sci-ence in Design (with a major in Archi-tectural Studies) and two years ofgraduate study leading to the Master ofArchitecture (see “Upper-Division Pro-fessional Program” below).

In cooperation with the UniversityHonors College, the school offers a spe-cial honors curriculum for students withUniversity Honors College standing.Consult the advising officers in theschool for information.

In cooperation with the College ofBusiness, a dual degree program, Mas-ter of Architecture/Master of BusinessAdministration, has been established.Students contemplating dual matricula-tion should see an advisor for help inselecting electives appropriate to thisprogram at the undergraduate level.

The Master of Science degree with amajor in Building Design provides op-portunities for advanced and specializedstudies and research in building science.Concentrations include building energyperformance, climate responsive archi-tecture, computer-aided design, energysimulation analysis, and facilities devel-opment and management. Students en-tering this program typically have theprofessional Bachelor of Architectureor Master of Architecture degrees orundergraduate degrees in areas such asphysics, engineering, or design. Formore information, see the GraduateCatalog.

ADMISSION

Lower-Division Program. New andtransfer students who have been admit-ted to the university and who have se-

lected Architectural Studies are admit-ted to the lower-division architectureprogram without separate application tothe School of Architecture. Comple-tion of lower-division requirementsdoes not ensure acceptance to the up-per-division professional program.

Transfer credits for the lower-divi-sion program are reviewed by the col-lege faculty. To be admissible to thiscurriculum, transfer courses must beequivalent in both content and level ofoffering. A review of samples of workis required for studio classes. Consult acollege academic advisor for an ap-pointment.

Entering lower-division studentswho are not prepared to enroll in someof the required courses are required tocomplete additional university coursework. These additional prerequisitecourses do not apply to the Bachelor ofScience in Design degree requirements.

Upper-Division Professional Pro-gram. Admission to the upper-divisionprofessional program is competitiveand limited by available resources. Ad-mission is awarded to those applicantsdemonstrating the highest promise forprofessional success, including evi-dence of ability and the prospect forsignificant public service.

Transfer students who have com-pleted the equivalent required lower-di-vision course work may apply to theupper-division program. Prior atten-dance at ASU is not required for appli-cation to the upper-division program.Applicants who already hold a bache-lor’s degree in another field should ap-ply to the 3+ year Master of Architec-ture degree program. See the GraduateCatalog for more information.

To be eligible for admission to theupper-division program, the followingis required:

1. admission to ASU (note that appli-cation and admission to ASU areseparate from application and ad-mission to the upper-division pro-gram);

2. completion of lower-division re-quirements (a minimum of 62 se-mester hours) or equivalents as ap-proved by a college academic advi-sor and the faculty of the school;

3. a minimum university cumulativeGPA of 3.00 as well as a 3.00 GPAbased only on the required lower-division courses or equivalents; and


SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE 203

4. submission of a portfolio (for de-tailed information about this re-quirement, see “Portfolio FormatRequirements” below).

In an unusual circumstance, whenthe admission standard deficiency isslight, written evidence of extenuatingcircumstances is convincing, and prom-ise for success is evident, a student maybe granted admission to the upper divi-sion on a provisional basis.

Students not admitted to the upper-division program are not dismissedfrom the school and may reapply ormay transfer to other programs. Stu-dents who intend to reapply shouldmeet with a college academic advisor.

Applications for transfer into the up-per-division professional program areconsidered only if vacancies occur.Transfer applicants must demonstratethat equivalent course work has beencompleted, and applicants must be aca-demically competitive with continuingstudents.

Students who successfully completethe upper-division requirements receivethe Bachelor of Science in Design de-gree (B.S.D.) with a major in Architec-tural Studies. This is not a professionaldegree. To complete the professionalarchitecture program, students must at-tain the NAAB-accredited Master ofArchitecture degree. Students who re-ceive the B.S.D. are eligible to applyfor the graduate program and shouldconsult the Graduate Catalog forproper application procedures. This ap-plication process is competitive andbased on a thorough review of a stu-dent’s undergraduate preparation andperformance.

Students with the four-year Bachelorof Science in Design degree (with amajor in Architectural Studies or anequivalent degree from another schoolthat offers an accredited professionaldegree in architecture) should apply di-rectly to the graduate program.

COURSES

Subject matter within the school iscategorized in the following instruc-tional areas:

Architectural Administration andManagement. AAD courses focus onthe organizational and management as-pects of architectural practice, includ-ing management coordination, adminis-trative procedures, ethics, legal con-straints, and the economics of practice.

Architectural Design and TechnologyStudios. ADE courses require the syn-thesis of knowledge and understandinggained from other course work and de-velop an understanding of designtheory and design skill through a seriesof comprehensive design projects. Stu-dents apply analytical methods, com-pare alternative solutions, and developsophisticated technical and conceptualresults.

Architectural Philosophy and His-tory. APH courses develop an under-standing of architecture as both a deter-minant and a consequence of culture,technology, needs, and behavior in thepast and present. Studies are concernedwith the theory as well as the rationalebehind methods and results of designand construction. Case studies are bothAmerican and international.

Architectural Technology. ATEcourses develop knowledge of the tech-nical determinants, resources, and pro-cesses of architecture. These studiesfocus on the science and technology ofdesign and construction, including ma-terials, building systems, acoustics,lighting, structural systems, environ-mental control systems, computer ap-plications to design and technology,and both passive and active solar sys-tems. Emphasis is on measurable andquantifiable aspects.

Environmental Analysis and Pro-gramming. ANP courses develop theability to analyze and program environ-mental and human factors as precondi-tions for architectural design using ex-isting and emerging methods of evalua-tion and analysis.

Architectural Communication. AVCcourses develop the student’s under-standing of communication theory as itapplies to architectural design and prac-tice as well as skills in drawing, graph-ics, photography, presentation design,and the design process.

Architecture Professional Studies.ARP courses provide students with off-campus opportunities, educational ex-perience in group and individual stud-ies relative to specific student interests,and faculty expertise, including sum-mer internships and field trips.

The courses required in the upper-di-vision and graduate levels of the pro-fessional program are not open to non-majors and students not admitted to theupper-division program.

human factors. Students integrate aes-thetic values into the products andspaces they design and consider the as-pirations of the world in which theylive. The goal is to create the best de-sign curricula possible and to developtechnically accomplished and concep-tually sophisticated graduates who con-tinue to evolve as practicing profes-sionals. With the help of an interna-tional network and a faculty of activedesign professionals, the aim is to edu-cate creative individuals who willachieve a comprehensive understandingof both products and interiors as relatedto the different cultures in which theyexist.

ORGANIZATION

Programs in the School of Design areorganized by the faculty of the schoolunder the direction and administrationof the director.

DEGREES AND MAJORS

The faculty of the School of Designoffer the Bachelor of Science in Designdegree. Two majors are available: In-dustrial Design and Interior Design.Applications are not being accepted tothe major in Design Science.

Industrial Design. The program in In-dustrial Design prepares creative indi-viduals to shape the objects used bypeople daily. The industrial designprofession serves the needs of bothmanufacturers and consumers by devel-oping products that are attractive, use-ful, safe, convenient, and comfortableto use. The designer’s special talentsand skills include an aesthetic sense,knowledge of materials and processes,and an understanding of the physicaland psychological needs of the user.Designers often serve as a catalystamong management, marketing, andengineering staffs.

Through studio projects, studentslearn to visualize ideas and communi-cate them to others and to refine skillsin freehand sketching, computer-aideddesign, and model making. Assign-ments balance conceptual aspects withpractical techniques. Typical projectsinclude electronics, toys, furniture,sports equipment, and packaging.Stress is placed on the role of the de-signer in a team effort. Third-year stu-dents perform internships in a largecorporation or in a consulting designagency.

PURPOSE

The School of Design educates de-signers for a professional world thatneeds informed and developed talent.The curricula emphasize preparation inbuilding bridges between the academicworld and the professions. The facultybelieve that the designers have a re-sponsibility to the public and the com-munities they serve; the student learnsnot only the history and theory of theprofessions and their practical applica-tion, but an understanding of systems,functions, scientific, and technical datarelated to public welfare, safety, and

Interior Design. The program in Inte-rior Design is accredited by the nationalaccrediting agency, the Foundation forInterior Design Education Research.The five-year curriculum emphasizesdesign process, technical skill develop-ment, problem solving, and the man-agement skills needed to work in col-laboration with the allied design pro-fessions. The goal is to create high-quality environments for human use.

Significant changes in the interiordesign profession over the last two de-cades are reflected in the program. Theschool is committed to integrating com-puter technology into each level of thecurriculum. In doing so, the programoffers an excellent environment for ex-perimenting with and testing innovativeapplications of computer-aided designand simulation to interior design.

ADMISSION

Lower-Division Program. New andtransfer students who have been admit-ted to the university and who have se-lected Industrial Design or Interior De-sign as a major are admitted to the ap-propriate lower-division program.Transfer credits for the lower-divisionprogram are reviewed by the collegeand evaluated as admissible to this cur-riculum. To be admissible, transfercourses must be equivalent in both con-tent and level of offering. A review ofsamples of work is required for studioclasses. Consult a college academicadvisor for an appointment.

Entering lower-division studentswho are not ready to take some coursesin the curriculum (for example, algebraand trigonometry or a second course incomputer programming) are required totake additional courses, which do notapply to the Bachelor of Science in De-sign degree. If these courses areneeded, it may take an additional yearto complete the lower-division pro-gram.

Completion of lower-division re-quirements does not ensure acceptanceto an upper-division professional pro-gram.

Upper-Division Program. When stu-dents have completed the lower-divi-sion curriculum requirements, they may

apply for acceptance to upper-divisionprograms in Industrial Design or Inte-rior Design. In addition to the portfolioreview, the faculty in charge of the In-terior Design program conduct an four-hour required design charette to mea-sure minimum competency and under-standing of the design process. Thelimited spaces available each year areawarded to applicants with the highestpromise for professional success. Thefaculty of the School of Design retainthe right to admit any meritorious stu-dent who may be deficient in a pub-lished school criterion. Such admissionrequires an extraordinary review of theapplicant by the school’s admissionscommittee. Should the faculty chooseto admit such an applicant, the studentis placed automatically on a provisionaladmission status with stipulations as towhat is required to be removed fromprobation. See “Application to Upper-Division Programs.”

Students not admitted to upper-divi-sion programs are not dismissed fromthe university and may reapply or maytransfer to other programs. Studentswho intend to reapply should meet witha college academic advisor.


Upper-Division Application Proce-dures. Students should write to a col-lege academic advisor for the applica-tion form well in advance of the appli-cation deadline. For more informationon portfolios, ask for a copy of thePortfolio Seminar brochure from a col-lege academic advisor. The followingdates and procedures are for studentsapplying to 1996–97 upper-divisionprograms.

Upper-Division Application Dead-lines. April 11, 1997. Portfolio andapplication documents are due in theschool office by 5:00 P.M. In additionto the portfolio submittal, the InteriorDesign faculty conduct a half-day re-quired design charette to measure mini-mum competency and understanding ofthe design process. The date is an-nounced when the portfolio is submit-ted. Students who do not complete thecharette are not considered for upper-division admission.

June 6, 1997. If the spring 1997 se-mester includes transfer course work(i.e., course work taken at an institutionother than ASU), a student must submithis or her transcripts to the school nolater than June 6. These transcriptsmay be unofficial copies. A second setof official transcripts must be sent tothe university Undergraduate Admis-sions office. Application is not com-plete until the university receives offi-cial transcripts for transfer course work.For those transfer students whose aca-demic term ends in June rather thanMay, this deadline may be extendedupon the written request of the appli-cant.July 1, 1997. Acceptance notices aremailed no later than July 1.Return of Letter of Acceptance.

ADVISING

Advising for the lower- and upper-division curricula is through a collegeacademic advisor (ARCH 141).

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

The Bachelor of Science in Designdegree requires a minimum of 120 se-mester hours for a major in IndustrialDesign and a minimum of 150 semesterhours for a major in Interior Design.The program includes required fieldtrips. Students are responsible for theseadditional costs. Foreign study oppor-tunities are available for honors stu-dents. An internship is a required partof the program.

Industrial Design. The curriculum inIndustrial Design is divided into alower-division and an upper-divisionprogram:

Lower-division program...........................58Upper-division program ...........................62

Total .......................................................120

The lower-division curriculum bal-ances a foundation in academic subjectssuch as English, algebra and trigonom-etry, computers, and physics with de-partmental courses that include historyas well as studio courses in drawing,design fundamentals, human factors,and materials and processes.

The upper-division curriculum in-cludes studio and laboratory work in in-dustrial design, graphics, material de-sign and professional practice. Studentsalso take a number of approved pro-gram electives. A supervised summerinternship is part of the curriculum.

Upper-division studios emphasizeprojects that promote an interdiscipli-nary approach to solving problems andthat develop the student’s intellectualunderstanding of the philosophy and di-rection of methods and theories relatedto industrial design. Problems proceedfrom small consumer products withsimple task functions to larger and morecomplex problems and systems. Studioprojects also emphasize the design pro-cesses: problem resolution through con-cept ideation, dialogue with specialistsin related areas, and product develop-ment, presentation, and marketing.

Graduates of the program accept en-try-level positions in industry and firmsdoing product and packaging design.Designers may focus on consumerproducts, transportation, electronics,medical devices, health products, recre-ational products, or materials applica-tion. Students may also choose to con-tinue their education with graduatestudies to enrich their design skills, tospecialize, or to prepare for college-level teaching.

PURPOSE

The faculty of the School of Plan-ning and Landscape Architecture offera curriculum that provides an educationfor careers in environmental planning,urban and regional development, land-scape architecture, urban design, hous-ing and urban development, and envi-ronmental resource management. Thegoal of the faculty is to advance theprofession of planning through scholar-ship, teaching, research, and commu-nity service.

Planners and landscape architectswork on projects that range in scalefrom site and landscape development tothe design of entire communities andthe formulation of policies that shapeurban and regional growth. Planning,landscape architecture, and environ-mental resource management graduateswork for both private firms and govern-ment agencies. Their work typicallyinvolves fields such as land-use plan-ning, housing, natural resource man-agement, urban transportation, develop-ment controls, and environmental im-pact assessment.

For graduates from environmentalresources, employment opportunities inenvironmental resource management,range ecology, land reclamation, andsoil conservation exist with both pri-vate firms and government agencies.

ORGANIZATION

The programs are organized by thefaculty of the school under the directionand administration of the director.

DEGREES AND MAJORS

The faculty of the School of Planningand Landscape Architecture offer theundergraduate degrees Bachelor of Sci-ence (with a major in EnvironmentalResources), Bachelor of Science inPlanning, Bachelor of Science in Land-scape Architecture, and Bachelor ofScience in Design and the graduate de-grees Master of Science (with a majorin Environmental Resources) and Mas-ter of Environmental Planning. TheBachelor of Science in Planning degreeoffers the major in Urban Planning.The Bachelor of Science in Design de-gree offers the major in Housing andUrban Development.

Urban Planning. The Bachelor of Sci-ence in Planning (B.S.P.) degree re-quires four years of study. Followingtwo years of preparatory work, studentstake two years of courses that includesite planning, landscape architecture,urban design, comprehensive planning,socioeconomic and environmentalanalysis, computer and analytical meth-ods, planning law, and public-policyformulation and administration. An in-ternship is required between the thirdand fourth years. Many students con-tinue to specialize in planning at thegraduate level. Students in planning areexposed to the theories, methods, andinterdisciplinary approaches of the pro-fession of planning.

Landscape Architecture. The Bach-elor of Science in Landscape Architec-ture (B.S.L.A.) degree prepares studentsto be professional landscape architects.Students explore the reasons for and thetechniques involved in the analysis,planning, and design of the environ-ment, both natural and built.
