Transfer students with previous college work but without any background in
architecture may take an intensive summer curriculum as the equivalent of first-
year. The intensive summer program includes no English or general electives
because previous college work is a prerequisite. For such students, the Master of
Architecture as a first college degree may then be obtained in four additional
years.
