<p>But for quick answers…

What is the minimum GPA?
There is no minimum requirement or absolute “cutoff” for grades, class rank or test scores. Admitted transfer students average a 3.5 cumulative college GPA. The portfolio is a significant factor in determining admission to the School of Architecture. USC evaluates prospective students through an individualized, comprehensive review process that takes many factors into account.

What classes should I take at my university or community college?
It is recommended that students take General Education courses, along with two semesters of English Composition and Pre-Calculus. While the University requires intermediate algebra, architecture applicants must complete the equivalent of USC’s Math 108: Pre-Calculus. A few art or architecture classes are recommended if you need pieces to include in your portfolio, but please keep in mind that the majority of architecture classes are not eligible for transferable credit. It is not to your advantage to take an excessive number of architecture courses. If you have questions about what courses are transferable, please visit USC’s articulation website. Please be sure to review the information on the Transfer Planning Guide for help with coursework selection.</p>

<p>IGETC courses do not automatically fulfill USC GE requirements, however the courses are generally transferrable.
