Admissions Transfer Students
Other Institutions
The School of Architecture welcomes applications from undergraduate students who wish to transfer into the School, either to continue or to begin the study of architecture. Applicants with less than one full year of college-level work should follow the freshman application procedure. The placement of a transfer student within the program depends upon the satisfactorily completed course work applicable to the Master of Architecture.
A transfer student from another architecture program may be admitted either in the fall or, occasionally, in the spring semester. The applicant must present a portfolio of architectural design work to determine placement in the Tulane architectural design course sequence. Credit for previous architectural design work is also awarded on the basis of this portfolio.
A transfer student from another discipline may begin in the intensive summer equivalent of first-year completing the program in four additional years, or in the fall semester, completing the program in five years. All students working toward their first undergraduate degree must follow the required architectural design course sequence of ten semesters.
In general, transfer candidates are expected to have maintained an average of B or better in all previous college work applicable toward the Master of Architecture. Credit is not awarded for grades lower than C. Credit for work completed but not required in the curriculum may be awarded as elective credit. An evaluation of courses accepted for transfer is made after complete transcripts, course descriptions, and examples of completed work are received.
If, at the time of application, the student is currently enrolled in another institution, his or her acceptance is tentative, pending presentation of an official transcript indicating successful completion of the current courses and all previously attempted courses.
Other Divisions of Tulane
The School of Architecture welcomes interdivisional transfers from other Schools that are a part of Tulane University’s Undergraduate College. Interdivisional transfer students may begin the architecture curriculum in the intensive summer equivalent of first-year, completing the program in four additional years; or in the fall, completing the program in five years.
