PHI KAPPA PHI Phi Kappa Phi, a national scholastic honor society founded in 1897, now contains 282 chapters nationwide. It is one of the most prestigious scholastic honor societies in the United States. The LSU chapter was founded in 1930 as the 43rd chapter in the nation. At the present time, the national office is located on this campus in the French House. The primary objectives of Phi Kappa Phi are to promote the pursuit of excellence in higher education and to recognize outstanding achievement by students and faculty through election to membership and through various awards and fellowships. Phi Kappa Phi is unique because it recognizes superior scholarship in all academic fields, rather than restricting membership to a limited field. Juniors in the top five percent and senior and graduate students in the top ten percent of their classes may be invited to become members of Phi Kappa Phi. New LSU Phi Kappa Phi members are initiated and honored in the spring semester each year and wear identifying ribbons on their academic gowns at commencement exercises. TAU SIGMA DELTA Tau Sigma Delta (IE)) was founded in 1913 to recognize excellence in art and design education. It is a scholastic honor society open to students enrolled in accredited degree programs in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Interior Design, or Art who have a minimum grade point average of 3.00 and who rank in the upper 20 percent of the cohort in their discipline. The Alpha Zeta chapter at LSU performs service for the University and for the community at large through the creative work of its members. New members are initiated and honored in the spring semester, and wear identifying IE) stoles on their academic gowns at commencement exercises. GRADUATE PROGRAMS The Master of Science in Architecture, Master of Fine Arts, Master of Arts in Art History, and Master of Landscape Architecture are offered through the Graduate School. Consult the Graduate Bulletin.
SCHOOLS AND CURRICULA SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE PROFESSORS - Carpenter, Kennedy, Saccopoulos, Shih, Theis, Zwirn The School of Architecture, a member of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, offers professional degree programs at both the undergraduate and the graduate levels. Preparation for the profession of architecture requires both formal education and practical experience followed by a professional examination and registration. In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U. S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes two types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture and the Master of Architecture. A program may be granted a five-year, three-year, or two-year term of accreditation, depending on its degree of conformance with established educational standards. Masters degree programs may consist of a preprofessional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree, which when earned sequentially, comprise an accredited professional education. However, the preprofessional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree. Admission Requirements • Admission to the beginning design courses in the NAAB accredited Bachelor of Architecture program (ARCH 1001, 1003) is selective and is based on high school academic grade point average and ACT or SAT scores (as a general rule of thumb, an applicant should have at least a 2.75 gpa and a 22 ACT score. A higher gpa may allow for a lower ACT score and vice versa). Individuals who believe there are additional factors that should be considered in evaluating their applications are encouraged to contact the School of Architecture in writing and/or schedule an on-campus interview. The top 80 students will be admitted to these courses in the fall semester of each academic year. Students who have been approved for admission will be notified in writing shortly after the University's application deadline for fall undergraduate admissions. Students not admitted to the beginning design courses will not be allowed to register for architecture courses other than those listed as general education courses. Each year a select number of students already enrolled at LSU will be considered for admission to the beginning design courses along with transfer students. Transfer students will be considered for admission on a space-available basis and are expected to have earned a minimum gpa of 2.75 (on a four-point scale, based on 30 hours or more). Transfer credit for architecture courses as substitutions for required courses in the School's curriculum will be considered only if theses courses have been taken as part of an architecture program accredited by the NAAB. Transfer students desiring credit for design studio courses will also be required to submit a portfolio for faculty evaluation. There will be, prior to admission to the third year of study (upper division), a grade point and portfolio review. No more than 36 students will be approved for advancement to the upper division each year. The School of Architecture reserves the right to deny admission to the third year of study based on this review. Entrance to the fifth year will be granted only to those students who have successfully completed all required course work in years one through four. Admission to the fifth year will be in the fall semester only. Graduate Program • The newly approved Master of Architecture curriculum is a candidate for NAAB accreditation. The NAAB grants candidacy status to new programs that have developed viable plans for achieving initial accreditation. Candidacy status indicates that a program should be accredited within six years of achieving candidacy, if its plan is properly implemented. Initial accreditation is retroactive, protecting the value of the degrees received by the first graduates. More information on the Master of Architecture program, including admissions requirements, is available by contacting the School directly. Personal Computer Requirement Students are required to have their own personal computer upon entering the second year studio courses. Contact the School of Architecture for information regarding type, specifications, and software. CURRICULUM IN ARCHITECTURE TOTAL SEM. HRS. - 160 In the architecture curriculum, normal course progress is imperative. A student failing to complete any required course more than one year later than the time designated in the curriculum is prohibited from advancement in the design studio sequence until the deficiency is corrected. All required courses listed through the senior year must be completed before a student is allowed to enroll in the designated fifth-year courses. Courses listed below are to be scheduled in the sequence in which they are listed. Thirty-nine hours of general education courses must be completed as required by the University.
