Credit for IAP and Summer Travel/Study
IAP and Summer Course Work
To be eligible for unit credit, a travel/study program must be organized and led by a member of the Department faculty and approved by the Department Head before the travel occurs if credit is to be received. It must also have a follow-up component in the next academic term and registration is in the fall term if traveling during the summer term, and during the spring term if traveling during IAP. The maximum number of units possible in summer is 12. Travel/study preceding or following and part of a regular subject (studio or workshop) earns no additional unit credit.
Credit fulfilling any MArch curriculum requirement other than free elective must be approved in advance by the appropriate member of the MArch Program Committee.
NOTE: This policy applies to group travel/study opportunities. It is not meant to afford academic credit for individual/general student travel.
IAP Internship
Every January during the Independent Activities Period (IAP), the Department of Architecture, organizes an internship program for graduate and undergraduate students to work in local architectural offices. This experience provides students with valuable hands-on training, an opportunity to improve skills and an inside look at the workings of an everyday architectural practice.
Practical Experience Internship
The Department will support practical experience internships for professional, full-time work performed in an architectural, engineering, landscape architecture, or planning office, or directly related to an art, architecture or building technology project. The work must be performed for a minimum of six weeks during a summer break between the first year of enrollment and graduation. Three credit units are received the subsequent fall term upon registration for 4.190, Practical Experience in Architecture. (4.190 may not be repeated for credit.)
