Students who have an admissions letter indicating that they need to take ARC 534 (Architectural History 2) should plan to take this course in substitute for their final elective in the program (semester 6). 

It is highly recommended that incoming students in this track request course waivers through their portal before beginning the program. All students are encouraged to submit a waiver for ARC 542 (Construction Technology). Receiving waivers for courses does not decrease the total number of credits required in the program. More information on waivers is available on the waivers page.
