*A minimum of 28 general elective credits must be taken outside of the College of Architecture, Planning and Design.
General electives may be taken in pursuit of a minor. They may be taken any time prior to or during the Architecture program and may include KSU approved AP, IB, CLEP and transfer credit. General electives may include KSU approved extracurricular work as allowed by university regulations. Students may not count more than 3 total hours of recreation credits toward graduation.

**The M.Arch degree requires 24 hours of professional support (PSE) electives, 12 for undergraduate credit and 12 for graduate credit. Of the undergraduate credits, at least 3 hours must be planning elective credits; the other 9 are usually fulfilled in the 8th semester as part of the 4th year study options. At least 6 hours of the graduate level PSE must be architecture seminars. See the M. Arch Handbook for further details. Students may not count more than 3 total hours of department approved extracurricular PSE credits (such as Oz, NOMAS, Plot Club etc.) toward graduation.

The K-State 8 General Education areas are covered by courses required in the Architecture curriculum. Information about the K-State 8 is available at http://www.k-state.edu/kstate8/.
