Intra-university Transfer Admission
Intra-university transfer students are reviewed for admission to Architecture Foundation Studies based on GPA, and availability of space in the program. Admission is selective, and typically limited to those with a 3.0 or higher GPA. While a portfolio is not required, students may wish to submit a portfolio or work to enhance their application. Portfolio requirements are available from the Tyler Admissions Office.

All intra-university transfer students (regardless of the number of credit hours completed) must complete all architecture courses from Architecture Foundation Studies before continuing into the 3rd and 4th year of the B.S. Architecture, B.S. Facility Management or B.S. Architectural Preservation. Students with previous college credits in architecture should submit a portfolio of work that represents previous studio coursework for consideration for advanced standing. Intra-university transfer students can apply for entry to the Architecture Department programs throughout the year, however, the need to fulfill the Architecture Foundation sequence might affect the time at which a student can take Architecture Department courses.

Other Transfer Admission

Transfer students from other institutions may be admitted to Temple’s architecture program with advanced standing. Placement in is based upon prior college level architectural education, as represented in a portfolio, not merely the number of credits earned at another institution. In order to be considered for advanced standing beyond the first year, transfer students must submit a portfolio of work that represents studio coursework completed at other institutions. Portfolio requirements are available from the Tyler Admissions Office.
