Registration Advice
At the end of each term the Registration Advice for Undergraduate Students handout is updated and sent to students along with their updated academic audit in preparation for pre-registration for the next term.
Advisor Contact Information
The undergraduate advisor contact list provides the names and contact information of all of the Course 4 undergraduate advisors as well as that of the undergraduate officer, undergraduate administrator, director of undergraduate architecture design, HASS concentration advisors, minor advisors, UROP coordinator, and the transfer credit advisors.
Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP)
The Department of Architecture has many UROP projects ranging from research in building technology (indoor air quality, building energy analysis, thermal comfort, ventilation systems, etc.) to computer graphics (visualization, image synthesis, computer-aided design, etc.) to architecture and art (public art projects, creating electronic media, museum installations, etc.)
The Course 4 UROP Coordinator is John Ochsendorf, Room 5-418, 617-253-4087, jao@mit.edu.
For more information, contact the UROP Office at MIT a listing of Course 4 opportunities.
Course 4 Resource Council
Undergraduate Students have created the Course 4 Resource Council (4RC) for the purpose of building community within the Department, encouraging leadership, and to promote events to further the sense of community and personal investment within architecture.
U-Info
The Undergraduate Information and Advising Gateway — U-Info— is an extremely useful website created by the Office of Academic Services. It provides basic information and links to academic, advising, research, career and job opportunities.
Floyd A. Naramore Architectural Memorial Fellowship Fund
The Department of Architecture sponsors a limited number of tuition fellowships for outstanding BSAD students who continue their studies in the field of architecture at the Master’s level. Awards are limited to attendance at any university west of the Mississippi River. However, first preference is given to students who continue their studies at the University of Washington in Seattle, and second preference to any university on the Pacific Coast.
Awards are granted upon a competitive process and consist of a half-tuition fellowship, not to exceed the cost of 50% of MIT’s academic year tuition. Students must be enrolled full-time, and grants are made only for the cost of tuition and may not be used to pay required fees, duplicate financial aid, or to pay room and board or other educational costs. The tuition fellowship is renewable for the semesters of residency of the degree program, up to a total of four semesters.
The application deadline is April 1 of each year. Applicants should send a copy of their admission letter, financial aid offer, official statement of the required semesters of residency for the degree, and a statement of the cost of attendance.
