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 be a waste ofresources, energy, or materials. De-signing our environment is an art, atechnology, and a social science thathas a history as long as human culture.The goals of the faculty include offer-ing students an education that becomesthe basis for life-long growth and im-provement as professionals, advancingthe discipline in both theory and prac-tice, and improving the quality of theenvironment by making the expertiseand knowledge of the faculty availableto other professionals and to the public.

ORGANIZATION

Academic Organization. The collegeis composed of three academic units:the School of Architecture, the Schoolof Design, and the School of Planningand Landscape Architecture. Adminis-tration of the college is the responsibil-ity of the dean, who in turn is respon-sible to the president of the universitythrough the senior vice president andprovost.

College Facilities. With the openingof an award-winning 100,000-square-foot expansion to the existing buildingin 1989, all the college’s programs arenow housed in a single complex. Fa-cilities include the Architecture and En-vironmental Design Library; computerlaboratories; design studios; the Galleryof Design; lecture and seminar rooms;the Media Center; offices for faculty,administration, and student organiza-tions; the shop; the slide collection; andtechnology laboratories. The bridgebetween the original building and theexpansion places the college’s reviewand display space at the heart of thecomplex.

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 more than 28,000

volumes, and special research collec-tions on the work of Alfred NewmanBeadle, Blaine Drake, Paul Schweik-her, Paolo Soleri, 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 Library, and space for the col-lege’s community outreach activitiesand programs of the Herberger Centerfor Design Excellence. The college’sphotographic lab and darkroom providehigh-quality equipment and space forresearch projects. The Media Centerincludes traditional graphics and audio-visual equipment as well as portablegear. The slide collection, with morethan 90,000 images, is available for in-structional use, and the college main-tains an array of materials testingequipment. The college is also hometo a computer site managed by Com-puting and Network Consulting Ser-vices.

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 academicunits. Transfer course work must beequivalent in both content and level of

offering. In addition, a review ofsamples of work (portfolio of work)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 thecollege 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 upper-division pro-grams requires a TOEFL score of 550or 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.

ADVISEMENT

While the college and its academicunits provide academic advising, it isultimately the responsibility of eachstudent to fulfill academic and programrequirements. Advising and record-keeping for lower-division programsare the responsibility of the college aca-demic advisor. Records for upper-divi-sion program students are kept in theappropriate academic units, and advis-ing is by the faculty and the head of theacademic unit. General career advisingis available from all faculty members.Administration of program require-ments is the responsibility of the headof the academic unit 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, theCollege Standards Committee, and, fi-nally, the dean. A student who feels heor she has been unjustly treated in aca-demic or other matters relating to his orher career as a student may contact thecollege academic advisor or may takethe grievance to the college ombuds-person.

DEGREES

Undergraduate. The college offerscurricula leading to four- or five-yearundergraduate degrees: the Bachelor ofScience in Design, the Bachelor of Sci-ence in Planning, and the Bachelor ofScience in Landscape Architecture. Astudent selects one of the majors withinthe respective academic units shown in

the “College of Architecture and Envi-ronmental Design Degrees, Majors, andConcentrations” table, page 162.

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. Four degrees are offered: theNAAB-accredited professional degreeMaster of Architecture (M.Arch.), thePAB-accredited professional degreeMaster of Environmental Planning(M.E.P.), the Master of Science (M.S.)degree with a major in Building De-sign, and the Master of Science in De-sign (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 132 to 156 semester hours, de-pending on the major. The Bachelor ofScience in Planning degree requires128 semester hours, depending on theconcentration. The Bachelor of Sci-ence in Landscape Architecture re-quires 125 semester hours. These re-quirements include six semester hoursfor English proficiency and meet or ex-ceed the university general studies re-quirements.

Special Honors at Graduation. Atthe time of graduation, students withacademic distinction are awarded therespective designation cum laude, ma-gna cum laude, or summa cum laude.Also see university requirements forgraduation with academic recognition,page 73.

GENERAL STUDIESREQUIREMENTS

Each curriculum offered by the col-lege meets or exceeds the universitygeneral studies requirements. Coursesare regularly reviewed to determinewhether they meet one or more generalstudies requirements. See the listing ofcourses, pages 53–71. The key to gen-eral studies credit abbreviations appearson page 52.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

In addition to completing departmen-tal degree requirements, students mustfulfill university graduation require-ments. Students must apply and pay afee for a graduation requirements re-view.

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 Standards Committeeimposes on their probation as a condi-tion of retention. If, after one semesteron probation, the overall GPA is not atleast a 2.00 and the conditions of pro-bation have not been met, the student isdisqualified for a minimum of two fullacademic semesters. Appeals may bemade to the college Standards Commit-tee. Also see university retention stan-dards, page 48.

* Applications are not being accepted.

COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN 163

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 StandardsCommittees or an academic unit placeson their probation as a condition ofcontinuation. Students may be re-moved from a program (but not neces-sarily the university) if

1. after one semester on probation, therequirements imposed are not metor the probationary semester GPAis below 3.00;

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 requirementsor requirements placed on readmissionare fulfilled. Appeals may be madefirst to the appropriate academic unitand, if necessary, to the college Stan-dards and Appeals Committee. Alsosee university retention standards, page48.

Incompletes. It is the student’s re-sponsibility to contact the instructor re-garding the process of requesting andfulfilling an incomplete. Tardiness incontacting 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 thathave 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 the 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 45.

Withdrawals. University withdrawalregulations apply to lower-divisioncourses. In addition, because thecollege’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 46.

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 a maximum ofone academic year. Any interested stu-dent is encouraged to inform the headof his or her academic unit at the earli-est possible date of any intentions forforeign study.

Exchange programs currently existwith the Universität Stuttgart, Ger-many; Wageningen Universiteit in deLandbouw en Milieu Wetenschappen,the Netherlands; and the UniversidadAutónoma de Guadalajara, Mexico.Foreign study programs in France andItaly and summer off-campus coursesare offered by the School of Architec-ture. The School of Planning andLandscape Architecture offers a sum-mer landscape planning course in Eu-rope.

Students are also encouraged to con-sider foreign travel for either a semesteror an entire academic year. A leave of

absence 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.

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 the 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 submit miss-ing work. Tardiness in contacting theinstructor is cause for denying accep-tance. Also see university policy re-garding 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.

164


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, there areregional and national meetings of edu-cators and professionals that studentsand faculty attend. Academic unitssponsor student awards programs andregularly invite professionals and crit-ics to reviews of student projects. Thecollege also participates with the Uni-versity Honors College and offerscourses accepted in that college.

SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE 165

DEGREES AND MAJORS

The faculty of the School of Archi-tecture offer three degrees: the Bach-elor of Science in Design with a majorin Architectural Studies, the Master ofArchitecture, 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. Completion of the programis 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”and “Degree Requirements” below).The professional program includes twoyears of upper-division study leading tothe Bachelor of Science in Design (witha major in Architectural Studies) andtwo years of graduate study leading tothe Master of Architecture (see “Upper-Division Professional Program” be-low).

In cooperation with the UniversityHonors College the school offers a spe-cial honors curriculum for studentswith University Honors College stand-ing. Please consult the advising offic-ers in each college 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 special-ized studies and research in buildingscience. Concentrations include com-puter-aided design, energy performanceof buildings, facilities development andmanagement, and solar architecture.Students entering this program typi-cally have the professional Bachelor ofArchitecture or Master of Architecturedegrees or undergraduate degrees in ar-eas such as physics, engineering, or de-sign. For particulars, 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 architecture

program without separate application tothe School of Architecture. Comple-tion of lower-division requirementsdoes not assure 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. Consultthe college 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-divi-sion, professional program is competi-tive and limited by available resources.Admission is awarded to those appli-cants demonstrating the highest prom-ise for professional success, includingevidence of ability and prospect for sig-nificant 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 may be ac-cepted to the upper-division program ifthey have accomplished the lower-divi-sion requirements.

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

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

2. completion of lower-division re-quirements (a minimum of 63 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

4. submission of a portfolio (for de-tailed information about this re-quirement, see page 166).

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 the college academic advi-sors.

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 National Architectural Accred-iting Board-accredited Master of Archi-tecture degree. Students who receivethe B.S.D. are eligible to apply for thegraduate program and should consultthe Graduate Catalog for proper appli-cation procedures. This applicationprocess is competitive and based on athorough review of a student’s under-graduate preparation and performance.

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 it

applies 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 best design curricula possible and todevelop technically accomplished andconceptually sophisticated graduateswho continue to evolve as practicingprofessionals. With the help of an in-ternational network and a faculty of ac-tive design professionals, the aim is toeducate 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.

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.

Interior Design. The program in Inte-rior Design is accredited by the nationalaccrediting agency, the Foundation forInterior Design Education Research.The five-year curriculum emphasizes

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 that they serve; the studentlearns not only the history and theoryof the professions and their practicalapplication, but an understanding ofsystems, functions, scientific, and tech-nical data related to public welfare,safety, and human factors. Students in-tegrate aesthetic values into the prod-ucts and spaces they design and con-sider the aspirations of the world inwhich they live. The goal is to create

172


design process, technical skill develop-ment, problem solving, and the man-agement skills needed to work in col-laboration with the allied design profes-sions. 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 the 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 that do not ap-ply 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 assure acceptanceto an upper-division professional pro-gram.

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

faculty 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 withthe college academic advisor.



Upper-Division Application Dead-lines. April 14, 1995. Portfolio andapplication documents are due in theschool office by 5:00 P.M. In additionto the portfolio submittal, the interiordesign faculty conducts 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 9, 1995. If the spring 1995 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 9. These transcriptsmay be unofficial copies. A second setof official transcripts must be sent tothe university Office of UndergraduateAdmissions. 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, 1995. Acceptance notices aremailed no later than July 1.Return of Letter of Acceptance. Asigned receipt of acceptance of admis-sion must be received by the school ordepartment by the date indicated on theNotice of Acceptance.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

The Bachelor of Science in Designdegree requires the following minimumnumber of hours of required and ap-proved courses for its majors:

Bachelor of Science in DesignSemester

Major HoursIndustrial Design .................................... 134Interior Design ........................................ 156

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:

SemesterHours

Lower-division program ........................... 64Upper-division program ........................... 70___Total ........................................................ 134

The lower-division curriculum bal-ances a foundation in academic sub-jects such as English, algebra and trigo-nometry, computers, and physics withdepartmental courses that include his-tory as well as studio courses in draw-ing, design fundamentals, human fac-tors, and materials and processes.

The upper-division curriculum in-cludes studio and laboratory work in in-dustrial design, graphics, material de-sign, professional practice, and a num-ber of approved program electives. Asupervised summer internship is part ofthe curriculum.

Upper-division studios emphasizeprojects which promote an interdiscipli-nary approach to solving problems andwhich 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 andmore complex problems and systems.Studio projects also emphasize the de-sign processes: problem resolutionthrough concept ideation, dialogue withspecialists in related areas, and productdevelopment, presentation, and market-ing.

Graduates of the program accept en-try-level positions in industry and firmsdoing product and packaging design.They may focus on consumer products,transportation, electronics, medical de-vices, health products, recreationalproducts, or materials application. Stu-dents may also choose to continue theireducation with graduate studies to en-rich their design skills, to specialize, orto prepare for college-level teaching.

Urban Planning. The Bachelor of Sci-ence in Planning (B.S.P.) degree with amajor in Urban Planning requires fouryears of study. Following two years ofpreparatory work, students take twoyears of courses that include site plan-ning, landscape architecture, urban de-sign, comprehensive planning, socio-economic and environmental analysis,computer and analytical methods, plan-ning law, and public-policy formulationand administration. An internship is re-quired between the third and fourthyears. Many students continue to spe-cialize in planning at the graduate level.Students in Urban Planning are ex-posed to the theories, methods, and in-terdisciplinary approaches of the pro-fession of planning.

Landscape Architecture. The newBachelor of Science in Landscape Ar-chitecture (B.S.L.A.) degree preparesstudents to be professional landscapearchitects. Students explore the reasonsfor and the techniques involved in theanalysis, planning, and design of theenvironment, both natural and built.

Housing and Urban Development.The Bachelor of Science in Design de-gree with a major in Housing and Ur-

ban Development familiarizes studentswith housing planning and develop-ment in both the public and private sec-tors. Students interested in this upper-division program should contact theschool director for more information.The lower-division program is the samefor the Bachelor of Science in Planningdegree.

Master of Environmental Planning.The School of Planning and LandscapeArchitecture offers specialization areasin urban and regional development, ur-ban design, and landscape ecologicalplanning, under the Master of Environ-mental Planning degree (M.E.P.), aprofessional planning degree. This de-gree is a two-year program and in-cludes 25 hours of core courses, 15hours in an area of specialization, anoptional three-hour internship, threehours of approved electives, and a five-hour thesis, for a total of 51 semesterhours or 48 without the internship. Forfurther information, see the GraduateCatalog.
