This includes aminimum <strong>of</strong> four architecture design studios (six credits each), two architectural history survey courses (threecredits), two foundational courses in digital media (three credits), and three building technology courses (threefourcredits) covering the equivalent content <strong>of</strong> site planning, materials and methods, and building systems.Transcripts for applicants admitted to the M.Arch I Advanced Standing degree track are reviewed anddocumented by the Director <strong>of</strong> the Graduate <strong>Program</strong> in <strong>Architecture</strong> to determine course equivalencies andsatisfaction <strong>of</strong> minimum course requirements. Where course content is not known, a prospective student isrequired to submit a course description and syllabus. Crucial issues such as Comprehensive Studio require thesubmission and review <strong>of</strong> the syllabus and project documentation. In cases <strong>of</strong> course exemptions, coursematerial is collected and reviewed with the student and appropriate faculty.Most students accepted to the M.Arch I Advanced Standing degree track are admitted into the second year <strong>of</strong>the 3.5-year program, thereby establishing them on a two-year path for degree completion. Some applicantswith a 4-year pre-pr<strong>of</strong>essional degree may not have completed all <strong>of</strong> the equivalent courses covered in the first1.5 years <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Tulane</strong> 3.5 year M.Arch I degree track. In cases where an applicant has not met the minimumrequirement <strong>of</strong> architecture design studios and/or is lacking multiple required courses, if accepted, the studentwould enter after the summer <strong>of</strong> the first year <strong>of</strong> the 3.5 year M.Arch I degree track, thereby establishing themon a three-year path for degree completion.Information on degree tracks and application process can be found on the <strong>Tulane</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Architecture</strong>website under the FAQ’s: http://architecture.tulane.edu/prospective-students/admissions/faqII.4.Public InformationII.4.1.
