Students wishing to study architecture should have a good base knowledge in Fine Arts and Art History. Students who have not taken and Art or Art History course may want to enroll in some Art courses at PCC. A portfolio of your work is required in your admission packet. The Architecture department will be looking at your creative potential.
We strongly recommend that students consider transferring to the University of Oregon before beginning their sophomore year. There are many architecture classes required of sophomore students that are not available at PCC. Contact the U of O Architecture Department for more information.
Additional Requirements
- For U of O's Bachelor's Degree Requirements, refer to General Education. For PCC courses that transfer to U of O, refer to the Transfer Equivalencies link.
- If you plan to earn an AAOT degree, all U of O general education requirements will be met by AAOT degree requirements.
PCC endeavors to create accurate transfer guides for students; however, requirements may change without notice. Students are responsible for working with PCC advisors and their transfer institution to ensure that their academic plan will meet requirements and timelines.
