The first part of the professional program in architecture for students entering with the Quebec Diploma of Collegial Studies in Pure and Applied Science, or the equivalent, is a three-year, design-based program leading to a non-professional degree, Bachelor of Science (Architecture). Most students from outside Québec are admitted to an eight-semester (4 year) B.Sc.(Arch.) program.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENT / COURSES:
Program Requirement:
Program credit weight: 126 credits
Program credit weight for CEGEP students: 98 credits
The B.Sc.(Arch.) program provides conceptual, technical, and procedural foundations for the professional M.Arch. program, which is accredited by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board and recognized as accredited by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards in the US. Students entering the B.Sc.(Arch.) program complete first-year courses in general studies (including sciences, humanities, and social sciences), for which individuals entering with the Québec Diploma of Collegial Studies in Arts and Science or Pure and Applied Science (or equivalent) are generally granted transfer credits. All students then complete six terms of immersion in architecture, centered in studio courses exploring principles of design, norms of representation, cultures of construction, and the human experience of architecture. Studio-based learning is complemented by lecture courses on foundational knowledge. Complementary courses provide further opportunities to learn about how culture intersects with technology in the work of architecture, and students select electives to customize their learning experience.
Required Year 0 (Freshman) Courses
28 credits
Generally, students admitted to the Architecture program from Quebec CEGEPs are granted transfer credit for the Year 0 (Freshman) courses and enter a 98-credit (six-term) program.
Course choices must be made through consultation with the Student Adviser for the Professional Programs.
All Year 0 students must successfully complete 10 credits from the following:
