architecture major?

<p>My s, rising junior, is v. interested in their architecture program. Nowhere online can he find out how many students get accepted into this major or if you can be accepted into the University with a different major and then change to architecture (if it's easier for him to get in that way). </p>

<p>Does anyone have knowledge of the university and can point us to a place to ask these questions?</p>

<p>I was accepted to Oregon for architecture this year. When I went to orientation last month, my advisor told me that 70 people had been accepted into the architecture school. You have to submit a portfolio to apply and you can include anything you want in it, but they have two mandatory assignments: a self portrait, and a drawing of some type of tool (I did a hammer). It seems, that many people choose to apply to the architecture school after attending the University for a term or so. The application deadline is sometime in January. So yes, it's possible to apply to the school later on. Also, even if you're not accepted to the school right away or don't apply, you can still take the architecture classes and there's even an architecture FIG (freshmen interest group) to see what it's like. Hope that helps.</p>

<p>Yeah my roommate is interested in doing architecture and is enrolled in the Arch. FIG currently so he's planning on getting into the school during the next application period.</p>

<p>When do you apply to the architecture school? Is it after your first year of attending Oregon? </p>

<p>I'm very interested in majoring in architecture and I have heard Oregon has an amazing program. I'm just a little nervous, I live on the east coast so if I went to UO and got rejected from the architecture program...I'd be a little upset. Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>You apply to the architecture program as an incoming freshman, or you can apply as an undergrad, it just gets a little messy as you progress because of the large unit/studio requirement of the major... A guy in my math class that is an upperclassmen is doing a B.A in Art then a M. Arch because it would be impossible for him to complete the B. Arch requirements. It is a good program though, we've done a lot of neat things, and I've learned a lot. I can't wait to start studio to see what else we'll be doing.</p>
