Note(s): Sophomore Portfolio Review

The sophomore portfolio review is intended to provide feedback on the student’s artistic and technical growth progress. At the review, we will be assessing drawing and composition skills, design skills, technical knowledge, presentation skills, ability to discuss and exhibit work, and the student’s level of knowledge about current professional activity in his or her program area.

Sophomore portfolio review for Architecture majors: Required after the student has completed: ART 1600 , ARCH 1010 , ARCH 1020 , ARCH 1060 , ARCH 1080 , ARCH 2210 , and ARCH 2610 . The student must also have a minimum GPA of 2.0 in all university courses and a GPA of 2.25 in all art and design courses. Passing the Sophomore Portfolio Review is a prerequisite to ARCH 3610 . The remaining 2000-level courses are intended to reinforce and expand the skills necessary for junior-level studio courses.
