Overview

The 3-year (90-unit) Architecture program at Cal Poly Pomona University is geared towards individuals who have completed a bachelor's degree in a major other than architecture or with a pre-professional undergraduate degree in architecture. Placing emphasis on the mastery of design, the program combines a rigorous series of design studios with comprehensive support lecture courses. Lecture courses in architecture theory and history, building technology, codes, digital media, human behavior, professional practice, programming, structures, and sustainability, are closely coordinated with the studio sequence.

Key Features

The first-year design studio sequence provides a general introduction to architectural principles explored throughout a student’s experience at Cal Poly. Students develop design and critical thinking skills as well as a proficiency to communicate spatial ideas effectively. The second-year design sequence builds upon this foundation with increasing complexity. In the final year of study, students are required to prepare a culminating Master’s Degree Project that serves as a transition from graduate school to professional life.Applicants who have successfully completed a pre-professional 4-year degree in architecture or a 5-year international professional degree may be considered for advanced standing. Admissions with advanced standing is based on the admissions committee’s evaluation of the applicant’s portfolio and undergraduate transcripts indicating first-year curriculum equivalencies in design, history, structures, and environmental controls. Students admitted with advanced standing will pursue a 2-year 60-semester unit trajectory through the program.
