ADMISSIONS AVAILABLE ONLY IN THE FALL SEMESTER

Explore the three undergraduate programs that are offered under the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture to start your academic journey with CAPPA. Incoming transfer students are required to attend New Maverick Orientation and our mandatory orientation that occurs during orientation, prior to meeting with our advisor(s). View available orientation dates through the New Maverick Orientation page to begin your admission process.

ABOUT THE ADMISSION PROCESS AND REQUIREMENTS

If you apply to UT Arlington for any other semester (i.e. Spring), you would not have the option for architecture, interior design, nor sustainable urban design, you would need to change your application to a Fall semester. All three undergraduate programs take a minimum of 8 semesters (4 years) to complete for both incoming freshmen and transfer students. All of the admissions requirements are handled through the Office of Admissions. We do not have a separate admissions.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

PORTFOLIO REVIEW REQUIREMENTS

Portfolios may be submitted to be reviewed by the School of Architecture faculty members. The portfolio review does not apply to students with no prior college level design classes. Students who have college-level transfer coursework in architecture and/or interior design are welcome to submit a portfolio for review to determine their placement in the program. 

At the conclusion of the portfolio review, a transfer student knows how many transfer courses will be applicable to our program.

Students submitting portfolios petitioning for consideration of first year design courses will also undergo our First Year Foundations Competency.  

Learn more about Undergraduate Portfolio Review Guidelines and our First Year Foundations Competency and how they may apply to you.
