COLLEGES to the methods of actual practice and enables the student to derive increased benefit from advanced work in school. Students should con- tact their faculty adviser for recommended or required practical experience best suited to their individual needs. FIELD TRIPS Each year a number of field trips are arranged to give students an opportunity to broaden and extend their educational experi- ence through study of planning, design, and construction projects of unusual interest. Stu- dents frequently combine such studies with attendance at state and national meetings of the professional organizations in their respective fields. Students should check with their depart- ments for field trip requirements. Students considering application to the College of Archi- tecture should anticipate, as part of their budget planning, expenditures for equipment and tools essential to their education as design, planning, or construction professionals. For further infor- mation in this regard, students should contact the appropriate department/school. I. Curriculum in Architecture R.S. McCarter, Chairman The professional program in architecture leads to the Master of Architecture degree and, for students without a baccalaureate degree in another discipline, requires both undergraduate and graduate study. Successful completion of the undergraduate curriculum results in the granting of the Bachelor of Design (Architec- ture), a non-professional degree. Admission into the graduate program is selective and informa- tion regarding the criteria for admission is con- tained in the Graduate School catalog. In addition to the courses offered at the Gainesville campus, the department operates a year-round program in Vicenza, Italy, for fourth year students who are selected to spend either the fall or spring semester abroad. Supplemen- tal fees are required for participation in this pro- gram. Summer institutes are conducted on Nantucket Island for the study of architectural preservation and in the Caribbean Basin for the study of Caribbean culture and its conservation. Information on these institutes may be obtained from the department office. The number of applicants who can be accepted into upper division is limited by avail- able classroom space, studio space, and faculty. The admission process is based on three criteria: over-all lower division grade point average, architectural grade point average, and an exhib- it score based on an evaluation of each student's pin-up of studio work (1-10 scale). For the past several years, the average for each criteria has been as follows: over-all grade point average 3.1, architectural grade point average 3.4, and exhibit score 5.5. Students who have not suc- cessfully completed all lower division require- ments will not be guaranteed admission. Students with a pin-up score below 3.0 will not be guaranteed admission. It is the department's policy to admit the best qualified applicants as evidenced by their academic achievement and their potential to successfully complete the undergraduate program. Registration for lower division courses may also be limited by avail- able space and faculty resources and students are accepted based on procedures established by the department. The program of study is included below to show a typical sequence in which courses are taken. Some courses in the first two years are offered in semesters in addition to those shown. Consult the course description section in the back of the catalog for precise information on offerings.

Not required for graduation. The department requires students to follow the General Education requirements for the Associate of Arts certificate as specified by the University of Florida. The number of hours in each category is listed in the table below. For more information, and a list of specific courses that will satisfy the general education require- ments, consult the termly schedule of courses. GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS Credits C Composition 6 L Literature and the Arts 6 H Historical and Philosophical Studies 6 I International Studies and Diversity 6 S Social Sciences 6 M Mathematical Sciences 6 P/B Physical/Biological Sciences 9 (The Physical/Biological Sciences require- ments must be met by taking 6 credits in one area and 3 in the other area.) GRADUATING WITH HONORS, HIGH HONORS, AND HIGHEST HONORS Honor designations for graduation in Archi- tecture are calculated on all courses in the pro- fessional curriculum resulting in the following GPAs: Honors (3.3), High Honors (3.6) and Highest Honors (3.65). In addition, for high and highest honors, the faculty evaluation of the final fourth year design project is required. EXPENSES A week long field trip is required of all junior and senior level students; students should plan to have adequate funds available. Supplemental fees are also required for partici- pation in the Vicenza (VIA) program. It may be necessary to assess studio fees to defray increas- ing costs of base maps and other generally used materials.
