Architecture
When considering Pre-Professional studies, it is important to understand King’s does not offer Professional Programs (other than the Bachelor of Education After Degree). We offer transfer opportunities into professional programs. This ranges from select course transfers (minimum) to a full undergraduate degree for admission (maximum) to another university. The advantage of taking Pre-Professional studies at King's is learning in a faith-based community with small class sizes, dealing with personable, helpful professors and creating a foundation for continuing study at another university.
After beginning your degree at King's, you can transfer to your choice of the following universities:
Architecture at: University of Calgary
Master's Degree - Faculty of Environmental Design
- Requires an undergraduate degree of any kind
- Requires 3.0 GPA, Letter of Interest, Letter of Reference, Portfolio, and Work
Experience in area of interest
Recommended Undergraduate degree – 3-year Bachelor of General Studies with a Minor in Architectural Studies (architecture minor available through University of Calgary as a minor in the following degrees: General Studies, Fine Arts, Humanities, Science, Management and Social Sciences.)
The Advantage - the Architecture minor will substitute for the first year of the University of Calgary’s Master's of Environmental Design. Students can complete their Master's degree in six years instead of seven years.
King’s offers one or two years of transfer credit into the University of Calgary's undergraduate program. The shortest route to obtaining your Master's is to transfer from King's into the University of Calgary's 3-year Bachelor of General Studies (no major) with an Architecture minor.
