COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE, ARTS, AND HUMANITIES: 2005-2006

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 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. The Master of Science in Historic Preservation degree is a professional degree program designed for students who will specialize in working with historic buildings, landscapes, and the decorative arts. The Master of Real Estate Development is a full-time, two-year professional degree jointly offered by the Department of Planning and Landscape Architecture and the Department of Finance in the College of Business and Behavioral Science.

In addition to the facilities housed on the Clemson campus, the College offers third- and fourth-year Architecture and fourth-year Landscape Architecture students the opportunity to earn credit toward their degrees at three off-campus sites. Students may spend a semester at the Charleston Architecture Center earning credit from both Clemson University and the College of Charleston. Additionally, the Charles E. Daniel Center for Building Research and Urban Studies in Genoa, Italy, and the Barcelona Program in Barcelona, Spain, provide students with an intensive program of study and travel in Europe.
 

Architecture Charleston Program

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

Architecture Overseas Program

The Daniel Center for Building Research and Urban Studies in Genoa, Italy, is available to qualified Bachelor and 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 year or first semester of their 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.
 

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 education 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 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 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. For more information, contact the College of Architecture, Arts, and Humanities Advisement Center in 101 Strode Tower.

ARCHITECTURE

Bachelor of Arts

The Bachelor of Arts in Architecture prepares students for subsequent professional education by providing a sound general education, focused design studies, complementary support courses, and the opportunity to study abroad. The School of Architecture emphasizes the relationship of buildings to the rest of the environment: built, natural, and cultural. The curriculum includes seven semesters of studio in addition to complementary courses in architectural history and theory and building technology. Four of the studios are collaborative, taught by faculty in Architecture as well as Communication Studies and English. The Bachelor of Arts also includes requirements for a minor and foreign language.

In the first two years of the program, students learn to apply the thinking and communications skills needed to pursue higher-level work in the discipline. The curriculum in the first two years also allows students to complete most of the University's general education requirements. In the last two years, students must select at least one of the location-specific studios and corequired coursework and may elect to take these studios for up to three semesters. The final studio focuses on reflection and synthesis by incorporating the general education advanced writing requirement.
 

Architectural Registration/Licensure

The Bachelor of Arts in Architecture prepares students to continue on to a professionally-accredited degree program at the graduate level, such as the Master of Architecture offered by Clemson. Most states require that an individual intending to become a licensed architect hold an accredited degree. There are two types of degrees that are accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board: the Bachelor of Architecture (not offered at Clemson) which requires a minimum of five years of study, and 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 preprofessional bachelor's degree. The Bachelor of Arts in Architecture provides a foundation in the field of architecture as preparation for either continued education in a professional degree program or for employment options in related fields.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Bachelor of Landscape Architecture

The profession of landscape architecture is broad and interdisciplinary. Practicing landscape architects work on a wide range of project types including, but not limited to, urban design, community design, historic preservation, ecological restoration, parks and park systems, institutional landscapes, memorials, cemeteries, industrial site reclamations, golf courses, wilderness areas and trails, residential landscapes, and gardens.

The profession is both an art and a science. Successful landscape architects are creative professionals who hold an environmental imperative and a social conscience. They are also excellent facilitators able to bring numerous disciplines and professions together to work on complex projects in the landscape.

Clemson's program is noted for a special emphasis on the art of design. Consequently, the landscape architecture design studio experience is at the center of the student's educationforty-two hours of studio are required. The five-year program leads to an accredited Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree. The program is generalistcovering the major areas of practiceand builds from design basics to sophisticated studio experiences such as regional design, urban design, and community design. The studio experience is supported by other courses inside and outside the Landscape Architecture curriculum that provide the necessary grounding in landscape history and social, cultural, environmental, and aesthetic theories. Students may also choose to focus elective credits on one of three areas: cultural issues, environmental issues, or professional development. Outstanding fifth-year students may apply for admission into a shortened Master of City and Regional Planning, Master of Landscape Architecture, or Master of Real Estate Development program.

LANGUAGE AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE

Bachelor of Arts

Students in the Bachelor of Arts program in Language and International Trade acquire communicative competence in the target language; a familiarity with specific peoples, cultures, literatures, and business environments; and the knowledge and skills to pursue graduate studies or careers in business within their language of specialization.

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 concentration (Applied International Economics, International Trade, Textiles, or Tourism).

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 of South Carolina and the nation.

Study abroad of at least one semester in the target language setting is mandatory. In addition, internship experiences with international companies in the United States or summer internships with companies abroad give students the opportunity to apply classroom learning to the business/industrial work environment. Internships are subject to approval by the Language and International Trade Director. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in the Clemson Language Immersion Program (CLIP) prior to enrolling in study abroad programs.

In addition to the curriculum requirements below, students are required, as a condition of graduation, to pass a noncredit examination and submit a noncredit senior dossier to assess their language competence in various areas. Both assessments take place in the student's last full semester at the University.

MODERN LANGUAGES

Bachelor of Arts

The Bachelor of Arts degree in Modern Languages provides a broadly humanistic course of study in four areas of concentration: French, German, Japanese, and Spanish. This course of study seeks to provide students with basic competence in both the relevant language and the literary and cultural heritage pertaining to that language. Moreover, students will be required to take at least two courses in cultural inquiry which are designed to sharpen their sense of cultural difference, to enhance their critical thinking skills, and to prepare them for citizenship in a global community of diverse cultural precepts and practices. In this respect, the Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages is intended to prepare students for a wide range of careers in the international arena as well as for the kinds of graduate programs that are an appropriate starting point for such careers.

All students in Modern Languages will be required to study abroad with a Clemson-approved program for at least one semester (or equivalent summer course of study) in the case of Japanese and Spanish or for at least two semesters in the case of French and German.

As a condition of graduation, students in the Modern Languages program will be required to pass a noncredit examination and to submit a senior dossier in the relevant language to assess their competence in that language. Both assessments take place in the student's last full semester of study.
