Notes

High school mathematics prerequisites: Entering freshmen or transfer students must have fulfilled the minimum high school prerequisites: algebra I (one unit): plane geometry (one unit); algebra II (one unit); and trigonometry (one-half unit) before entering the College of Architecture, Planning and Design. The prerequisites may be fulfilled at Kansas State University, or elsewhere, with the exception of geometry, which is not taught at K-State. Completing these courses at K-State will extend the time required to complete the degree program.

After satisfactory completion of the Environmental Design Studies Program, students are eligible to apply for admission to the programs of Architecture , Interior Architecture and Product Design , Landscape Architecture  or Regional and Community Planning .

Due to accreditation standards and limited resources, each professional program has limited studio space available. Therefore, positions in second year are awarded on a competitive basis.

IMPORTANT NOTES: Students who first enroll in Summer 2011 or later must meet the requirements of the K-State 8 General Education Program.

Students who began their programs of study in earlier terms under the University General Education (UGE) program may complete their degrees with UGE requirements or may choose to move to the K-State 8. Students should check with their academic advisors to determine which choice would be better. To switch, students must consult with their academic advisors.

Students who are readmitted in Summer 2011 and later will be designated as meeting the K-State 8 by the Office of Admissions. Deans’ offices can make an exception for the readmitted student who has completed UGE or who would prefer to complete UGE requirements.

Further information about these policies is available at University General Education Expectations Pertaining to all Departments and UGE policies.

For additional information about the University General Education program, check the requirements specified by the College of Architecture, Planning and Design.
