Architectural Studies, Minor

The Minor in Architectural Studies is designed for students not enrolled in the Architectural Studies major who are interested in a unique opportunity to stimulate their imagination and learn creative approaches to problem solving. This program will complement their current academic program with an in-depth understanding of architecture. The coursework exposes students to the fundamental principles that integrate design thinking with human behavior. Some students may wish to use the minor as a means of investigating possible graduate studies in architecture and some way wish to develop architectural specialties with other disciplines.

Requirements

Students who choose the Minor in Architectural Studies must have a declared major in another school or college at UWM and must have a minimum of a 2.5 grade point average. 

The minor consists of 15 credits in architecture courses. There are 4 required classes plus any other ARCH 200 level or above. For students who have not taken ARCH 101, they may substitute ARCH 112. No courses may be taken on a credit/no credit basis.
