The College of Architecture and Planning offers First-Year Program courses in the fall, spring, and summer semesters of the academic year. Students in all three of the college's entry tracks receive the same instruction and are ready to declare a major offered by any of CAP's three departments (architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning). However, in an effort to manage enrollment, each department has instituted an enrollment management plan. In the event the number of students declaring into the second year exceeds one of the departmental limits, students will be advised about other available degree programs of the college and the university. Consequently, please note that admission into the second year at CAP is subject to departmental enrollment review.
Note that students interested in careers in landscape architecture or urban planning and development may apply for pre-declaration into these two professional degrees.
