ADDENDA A: ADMISSIONS POLICIES FOR MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE I

(UNDERGRADUATE) PROGRAM Admission As outlined in the section entitled “B.5.: Human Resources -- Program Selectivity,” students admitted to the Tulane School of Architecture are first admitted to the University. Hence, the policies that apply for admission to the University-at-large apply to the School of Architecture. There is no special requirements for admission to the architecture program or any other program in the University. Often, students applying to the School of Architecture ask about drafting or technical graphics courses in high school. These courses may be helpful to some students, but most of our students have found courses in freehand drawing better preparation for our program. Required graphics presentation work during the first two years of the Tulane design studio sequence assumes no prior knowledge or experience in graphics or technical drawing. Readmission A student who has interrupted studies at the School of Architecture for any reason must file an application for readmission that is available from the Director of Academic Affairs in the School of Architecture. Portfolios All students applying to the School of Architecture for the Master of Architecture I (Undergraduate) Program are strongly encouraged, but not required, to submit evidence of their creativity, design, and art ability in a document no larger than 8.5" x 11". Portfolios generally include photographs or reproductions rather than original work. Few freshman applicants have done any architectural design; prospective students may submit examples of drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, construction, set design, poetry, prose, or any other work that might help in an assessment of your creative potential and your ability to succeed in the School's program. Some students whose secondary school records are not exceptional excel in the primarily visual orientation of a program in architecture; the portfolio helps the Committee on Admission judge candidates whose academic record may not testify fully to their potential in the study of architecture. Portfolios are required of all applicants transferring from other architecture programs. Recommendations
