Bachelor of Science

Taubman College at the University of Michigan offers a pre-professional undergraduate degree in architecture (Bachelor of Science [B.S.]). Applicants to the undergraduate architecture program can apply three different ways: as a freshman; as a cross-campus transfer (after completing two years of coursework at the University of Michigan); or as a new transfer (after completing two years of coursework outside the University of Michigan). Please see the Bachelor of Science Application Process card (PDF 191KB) for additional application information.
