Students preparing for graduate work in architecture are encouraged to partake fully of 新澳彩开奖结果鈥檚 liberal arts offerings and should pursue a major in whichever of the University鈥檚 major programs that attract their interest. In addition, they should expect to take at least one semester of calculus and one semester of physics (PHYS 105/105L or PHYS 111/111L). Finally, they must prepare a visual portfolio, for which at least ARTS 211 and ARTS 263 are strongly recommended. Pre-Architecture students should plan to take ARCH 271 during the junior year when participating in pre-architecture Approved Programs in Copenhagen, Florence, or Glasgow. The Department of Art integrates the historical study of architecture in its 100-level surveys and also offers a range of courses focusing on architectural issues and history: ARCH 105, Introduction to Architecture; ARCH 220, Early Modern European Architecture; ARTH 244, Arts of India; ARCH 275, American Campus Architecture; and ARCH 277, Modern Architecture. Courses in the geography, sociology, and environmental studies programs will acquaint students with the human and physical impacts of architecture and urban design. Many students participate in summer intensive architectural programs hosted by many architecture schools between their junior and senior years. Incoming students who are interested in architecture should consider ARTS 100 or a 100-level Art History survey in their first semester. For more information on preparing for an architectural career, contact Professor Carolyn Guile in the Department of Art (cguile@colgate.edu) during the summer or during the first weeks after your arrival at 新澳彩开奖结果.
