Architecture Program Report Tulane University New Orleans ...

Students serve in various elected bodies, such as Student Senate
groups, the governing bodies of students in the undergraduate divisions.
The student senate groups represent students to the undergraduate
divisions and the University, facilitate interaction between students and
faculty, and conduct various student activities. Students also serve in the
Associated Student Body (ASB) of Tulane University, the student
government organization for the entire University. The School of
Architecture has had ongoing appointments to these various
organizations and have figured prominently in University governance and
other programs outside the School of Architecture.
To be eligible for participation in co-curricular activities, including
candidacy for office in student elections, a student must be regularly
enrolled in the University. Students who wish to run for college, school, or
university offices or major appointive positions must secure the approval
of one of the deans before announcing their candidacy. To qualify for
such positions, including class offices, a student must be a full-time
student in good standing. A student not in good standing is not eligible to
run for or take office.
The dean may take disciplinary action in declaring any student ineligible
for participation in co-curricular activities. The dean determines sanctions
for nonobservance of these regulations by students who have been duly
informed of their ineligibility.
INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS

research and travel. These programs, developed by individual faculty
members, carry elective and/or design studio credit. Recent programs
have been conducted in Finland, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, France,
Italy, Spain, Guatemala, Mexico, Vietnam, and Brazil. Another program is
the nascent travel and study program in the Netherlands as part of a
series of programs on “Watercities.”
Beginning in 2006, all students in the School of Architecture have had to
undertake international study, in one of the many programs offered,
during their fourth year in the Master of Architecture undergraduate
program and second year in the Master of Architecture I graduate
program. While no specific grade point average is required for
participation in these programs, the Associate Dean and Director of each
particular program counsel each student to ascertain the suitability of the
program for the student in considering the student's maturity and the
studios previously taken, the Associate Dean, in consultation with the
student's advisor, may determine that a student should receive only
elective credit and not design studio credit
All Tulane students are strongly encouraged to obtain, before graduation,
an international education experience to prepare them for the global
environment in which they will live and work. Increasingly, graduates
have indicated that their study abroad experience was one of the most
