Architecture Interest
Associate of General Studies Degree
A total of 90 credits are required to complete the Associate of General Studies (AGS) degree. The courses listed below are only meant to serve as a guide of recommended choices within categories required in the AGS framework. See the AGS graduation guide for full degree requirements. The following list includes recommended courses for students who have an interest in architecture, primarily focused on developing skills necessary for entry into an architecture, but may also be accepted as core required freshman architecture courses by the specific institution.
Students must research the specific requirements of the architectural program they plan to transfer into; all such programs, in Oregon and nationally, are rigorous, conservatory-based programs, requiring generally five years of full-time study, accepting limited transfer credits. Students will have to be accepted into the program before they can begin study. The great majority of the classwork is program-specific, students work in a cohort setting, and the courses are offered only at the transfer institution. Students are encouraged to work closely with their RCC academic advisors and visit the transfer school of choice website for specific admission and academic major requirements.
