Evaluation of preparatory / pre-professional education is executed by the Architecture Program Director.

For eligible applicants, following a positive admission decision by the Graduate Committee, courses and work from the candidate’s prior degree program are reviewed for conformance to or consistency with the pre-professional program at Kent State as it relates to the completion of NAAB Student Performance Criteria (SPC). Syllabi and student work are solicited for additional information on SPC at the undergraduate level.  When appropriate, the Program Director will request the input of faculty on the performance of student work or the content of a syllabus in a particular course. When deficient SPC or courses are recognized, the course is added to the student’s Graduation Requirements Sheet (GRS). This sheet is included in the materials sent to admits for their signature in accepting our offer of admission. A student’s GRS is used to clear for graduation to ensure the requirements and SPC have been met.

A variety of graduate assistantships, scholarships, research and work opportunities are available to both new and returning graduate students.
