SB, Course 4-B
Bachelor of Science, Course 4-B Major
The degree is granted once all 17 General Institute Requirements (GIRs) and all departmental requirements have been met.
All architecture majors, regardless of degree or discipline stream, are required to take the
following core subjects. All six should be completed by the end of sophomore year:
- 4.111, Experiencing Architecture Studio, 12 units
- 4.112, Integrated Architecture Design Studio, 12 units

12 units
or - 4.601, Introduction to Art History, HASS-D category 3, 12 units
Course 4-B is designed for students who are intellectually committed to subjects within the Department of Architecture but have educational objectives that cross departmental boundaries.
With the approval of the department, a student may plan a course of study that meets his or her individual needs. The resulting program must incorporate fundamental areas within the
department.
As early as possible, students should discuss their interests and intended programs with their advisors and departmental faculty members. A student who wishes to follow Course 4-B must
first register as a Course 4 major.
By the end of sophomore year, the student is expected to submit to the department a proposal
that includes:
• a statement of educational goals
• a list of subjects to be taken to fulfill these goals (84 units)
• a timetable listing when the subjects will be taken
Once the Department of Architecture Undergraduate Curriculum Committee has approved the proposal, the student may officially switch to the 4-B major.
All 4-B majors are required to do a senior thesis and must take 4.THT, Thesis Research Design Seminar, the fall prior to submitting the thesis.
