Criteria: Admission to all College of Design majors is competitive and space is limited. Always have alternate plans in case you don't get admitted to the major of your choice.
The following criteria apply to all CDes majors:
- good academic standing
- minimum 2.80 cumulative GPA is preferred
- minimum C- grade in all major-related courses
- completion of all high school preparation requirements
- Please refer to the architecture degrees for their additional admission requirements.
Faculty Review: Faculty who review admission applications take into consideration academic record -- including course requirements, major-related course grades and general GPA patterns, as well as the quality of the Transfer Application Supplement statement (and any other statement of special circumstances.)
Meet with an adviser before you apply: Be sure to talk to a CDes prospective student adviser so you understand how long it will take to finish the program if you get admitted (ESPECIALLY the eight semester studio course sequence in the architecture and design majors.)
Notification of admission:
- Design and Retail: early April (early November for Graphic Design Spring term applicants)
- Housing Studies and Environmental Design: within 4-6 weeks of application submission
- Architecture: early July
