Prerequisite: ARC 301, ARC 302
406 Architectural Design Studio Abroad (6 cr)
The content of this course is variable and therefore it is repeatable for credit. The University Grade Repeat Policy does not apply.
Locations vary annually. Undergraduate students participate in architecture design studios taught in Belgium, Costa Rica, Denmark, Germany, and other international locations as organized by the Department of Architecture. Other in-house study abroad programs will be offered on an ad-hoc basis by the Department of Architecture, based upon faculty and student interest.
Prerequisite: ARC 301, ARC 302
