COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE, ARTS, AND HUMANITIES


The collaboration of Architecture (Landscape Architecture, Construction Science and Management, City and Regional Planning, and Architecture) with Arts (Visual Arts and Performing Arts) and the Humanities (Communication Studies, English, History, Languages, Philosophy, and Religion) produces a remarkably rich environment for study. The mixture of core disciplines with applied professsions/disciplines in the College provides both depth and breadth in learning. This structure affords students and faculty with skills that address the complex and interconnected challenges of the future, where it is no longer possible for these problems to be solved in a single discipline or profession. It is through the connections and communication between specialized knowledge areas that significant cultural progress will be made. These kinds of thoughts and actions form a fundamental part of the College of Architecture, Arts, and Humanities.

To illustrate these ideas, consider the diversity of communication skills practiced and taught in the College. Students learn graphic and artistic communication, technical communication with computers, spoken communication, and communication through the written word. Each skill is vital to a successful student, and it is the collaboration between these forms of communication that prepares students for the complex challenges of the future.

SCHOOL OF DESIGN AND BUILDING AND SCHOOL OF THE ARTS

The Bachelor of Arts in Architecture degree is the preprofessional preparation for two years of graduate study leading to the Master of Architecture degree, which is the fully accredited professional degree in the field. The accredited Bachelor of Science in Construction Science and Management program prepares students for careers as professional managers in the construction industry. A graduate program is also offered leading to the Master of Construction Science and Management. The Visual Arts program offers professional study in the studio visual arts leading to the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. A graduate program leading to the Master of Fine Arts is also offered. The accredited five-year Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree program prepares students for careers as professional landscape architects. The Bachelor of Arts in Production Studies in Performing Arts is a distinctive degree program that combines practical hands-on experiences in performing arts production technologies with classes in music and theatre performance, history, and theory. A graduate program in City and Regional Planning is housed within the school and accepts graduates from a variety of baccalaureate programs and prepares them for careers in both public and private sector planning through its Master of City and Regional Planning degree.

In addition to the facilities housed on the Clemson campus, the College offers students the opportunity to study at two off-campus sites. The center at the College of Charleston is available to third- and fourth-year architecture and fourth-year landscape architecture students for a semester's study while earning credit from both Clemson University and the College of Charleston. The Charles E. Daniel Center for Building Research and Urban Studies in Genoa, Italy, provides graduate students and upper division undergraduates in the above mentioned programs a semester's residence in an intensive program of study and travel while earning full credit toward their degrees.

Architecture Charleston Program

Located in Charleston, South Carolina, this program is available to qualified undergraduates in Architecture, Art, Construction Science and Management, and Landscape Architecture. Studio work is oriented toward design within the historic seaport setting. Students also enroll in classes at the University of Charleston campus. The program is enriched by visiting scholars and professionals from the area.

Architecture Overseas Program

The Daniel Center for Urban Studies in Genoa, Italy, is available to qualified Master of Architecture, Construction Science and Management, Fine Arts, City and Regional Planning, and professional year Landscape Architecture students. Studio and classroom work is enriched by visiting scholars and complemented by scheduled field trips, both in Italy and continental Europe. Undergraduate Architecture students in their third or fourth year may also participate in the Italian program.

Entrance Requirements

Admission to degree programs in the School of Design and Building and the School of the Arts is based on academic performance and is limited based on space availability in the various programs. Students seeking admission are advised to apply to the Admissions Office early in the fall of their senior year in high school. They are also encouraged to visit the school during their senior year. Faculty are available to meet with them and their parents informally and answer questions and discuss individual programs in more detail. Prospective students may schedule appointments by calling the individual department.

Change of Major

When space is available, a student may change majors to one of the degree programs in the School of Design and Building with a 2.5 cumulative grade-point ratio, at least 30 credit hours earned, and design aptitude evidenced by a portfolio review (in the case of the Architecture discipline) or by approval of the department chair.

Advancement in Architecture

Students enrolled in second-, third-, or fourth-year design studios and theory courses must attain at least a 2.0 grade-point ratio in each year level (by repeating one or both semesters, if necessary) to qualify for advancement to the next year level or, in the case of fourth-year Architecture studios, to qualify for the Architecture degree, or in Landscape Architecture at the fifth year, to qualify for the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree.


SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES

The Bachelor of Arts degree is offered in Communication Studies, English, History, Language and International Trade, Modern Languages, and Philosophy. The Bachelor of Science degree is offered in Language and International Health.

To achieve depth as well as breadth in their educational experiences, students majoring in Communication Studies, English, History, Modern Languages, or Philosophy complete at least 24 semester hours from courses above the sophomore level. As soon as feasible and not later than the end of the sophomore year, students in these fields also select a minor, consisting of at least 15 additional semester hours. Courses satisfying the major may not also be included in the minor. A second major (a double major) may substitute for the minor, provided all requirements are fulfilled for each major.

The Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies, English, History, Modern Languages, and Philosophy requires 130 total semester credits; Language and International Trade requires 129?137, depending on the concentration. Of these, at least 12 credits must be earned in humanities courses numbered 300 or higher (A A H 210, MUSIC 210, and THEA 210 excepted). All majors in the School of Humanities (with the exception of English majors) must earn 12 credits in social science courses numbered 300 or higher. English majors must earn at least six credits in this category. The humanities for this purpose are considered to include art and architectural history, communication studies (except 362 and 364), English (except 304, 312, 314, 316, 333, 334, 335, 485, 490, 495), languages, music, philosophy, religion, theatre (except 377, 487, and 497), and women's studies, as well as courses entitled Humanities. The social sciences for this purpose are considered to include agricultural and applied economics, anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology, and sociology. The foreign language requirement in humanities is a proficiency requirement. Students must complete through 202 in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Portuguese, Russian, or Spanish.

Students enrolled in degree programs offered in the humanities who expect to teach in the public schools may elect education courses required for teaching certificates by the South Carolina State Department of Education. Such courses are to be approved by their own department advisors.

Students may transfer into the Undeclared category in the Humanities only if they have completed 45 or fewer credit hours.


ARCHITECTURE

Bachelor of Arts

Architects have a creative responsibility of designing the buildings which shape our physical environment. To understand the humanistic, economic, and technological nature of environmental problems, students must have a sound general education. Subsequent professional education must be preparation for a life of continuing change in which the problems to be solved will be large and small, for every sort of function, in every type of climate, and for every condition of budget.

Architectural Registration/Licensure

Most states require that an individual intending to become an architect hold an accredited degree. There are two types of degrees that are accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board: (1) the Bachelor of Architecture, which requires a minimum of five years of study, and (2) the Master of Architecture, which requires a minimum of three years of study following an unrelated bachelor's degree or two years following a related preprofes-sional bachelor's degree. The professional degrees are structured to educate those who aspire to registration/licensure as architects.

The four-year preprofessional degree, where offered, is not accredited by NAAB; it is useful for those wishing a foundation in the field of architecture, as preparation for either continued education in a professional degree program, or for employment options in architecturally related areas.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Bachelor of Landscape Architecture

As practicing design professionals, landscape architects base their land area design plans on very highly developed design standards and a keen awareness of the environmental and cultural context of the site. Landscape architects are active in the design of regional and city plans, urban designs, urban plazas, city parks and playgrounds, athletic fields, marinas, and other recreational areas. They design housing areas of all types, industrial and office parks, medical and academic campuses, parkways and bike ways, courtyards and backyards.

To succeed in landscape architecture, individuals must first enjoy creating something new or recreating something old. They must also see the study of landscape architecture as a way to improve the environment through an enlightened application of design on the land.

The five-year program leads to the professional degree, Bachelor of Landscape Architecture. Students can use the professional support course requirement to tailor the degree to an area of specialization such as construction, architecture, horticulture, business, city and regional planning, etc. Seniors who have been accepted into Clemson's graduate program in City and Regional Planning may fulfill the Professional Support Requirement with C R P courses, which will also count toward the requirements for the Master of City and Regional Planning Degree. Following completion of the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree, most states require a two- or three-year work experience before taking the professional license examination.

LANGUAGE AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE

Bachelor of Arts

The Bachelor of Arts program in Language and International Trade expects students to acquire communicative competence in the foreign language; a familiarity with specific peoples, cultures, literatures, and business environments; and the knowledge and skills to pursue graduate studies or careers in business.

The Language and International Trade program combines foreign languages and international trade. Students choose one language concentration (Chinese, French, German, Japanese, or Spanish) and one professional option (Applied International Economics, International Trade, Textiles, or Tourism).

A summer internship between the junior and senior years gives students the opportunity to apply classroom learning to a business/industrial work environment. Language and International Trade majors are also encouraged to participate in Study Abroad programs to increase language proficiency.

The language component emphasizes speaking and writing skills, culture, civilization, and business/technical languages. The professional component emphasizes international marketing in areas important to the economy of the state and the nation.

In addition to the curriculum requirements outlined below, students will be required, as a condition of graduation, to pass a noncredit examination to determine their language competency. The examination will be taken in the student's last full semester at the University.

PRODUCTION STUDIES IN PERFORMING ARTS

Bachelor of Arts

The Bachelor of Arts in Production Studies in Performing Arts is a distinctive program that combines the disciplines of music and theatre. The curriculum includes practical hands-on experience in performing arts production technologies with classes in performance, history, and theory. The curriculum allows students to choose from over 70 minors to tailor the program to their specific interests. The program integrates multidisciplinary and collaborative performing arts, teamwork, outreach, and service learning with traditional performance.

The degree is rooted in the liberal arts tradition with specific training in the performing arts. It provides the background for a number of career options or advanced studies, including graduate school, professional internships, and specialized postgraduate training.
