CAP: College of Architecture and Planning
http://www.bsu.edu/cap
The College of
Architecture and Planning (CAP) offers degree programs in architecture,
landscape architecture, urban planning and development, historic
preservation, and urban design. The architecture, landscape architecture
and urban planning programs are fully accredited by their respective
professional accrediting agencies. The professional degree in
architecture is part of an accredited combined 4+2 program.
Professional graduate degrees in architecture, landscape architecture
and urban planning are also available for students with undergraduate
degrees in fields other than design and planning.
Admission
All entry-level
students must complete a supplemental application process and secure
admission into CAP's Common First Year Program. Required courses in the
first year provide a foundation in theories and skills pertinent to all
three disciplines. For more information about the CAP supplemental
admission process please log on to
http://www.bsu.edu/admissions.
Pre-Declaration
Students in good
academic standing who wish to pursue a career in landscape architecture
or urban planning and development and have completed a minimum of 30
college credit hours may be admitted directly into these two degree
programs by means of a special "Pre-Declaration Entry" track. For more
information please contact the dean's office.
Selecting a Major
During their first
year, CAP students have opportunities to meet with faculty and
professional advisors to discuss career and curriculum options in all of
the college's degree programs.
After successful completion of the
common First-Year Program students will declare their interest in one of
the majors offered by CAP (architecture, landscape architecture, urban
planning). However, each department has instituted an enrollment
management plan. In the event that the number of students who declare
an interest in one of the majors exceeds one of the departmental
enrollment limits, students may not be able to enroll in their preferred
major, and may be advised about other available degree programs of the
college and the university. That is, admission into the second year at
CAP is subject to departmental enrollment review.
