Transferring?

Students wishing to transfer credits from another university undergoes a rigorous process to determine transfer credit. First, the Registrar, and then the College of Engineering, Architecture, and Technology Student Services review all general education courses and determine if that course meets OSU requirements. For any Professional Studies course, including courses that might meet NAAB Student Performance Criteria, the School of Architecture academic advisor requires the student to demonstrate that these criteria have been met through the submittal of course work and materials. A portfolio is required to consider any transfer of design studio hour credit. The advisor consults with faculty members responsible for teaching the NAAB Student Performance Criteria material and a determination is made regarding each case individually.

ASTEK Program

In the Fall of 1999, the members of the American Institute of Architecture Students at OSUdecided to become more involved in the community. With permission from the Stillwater Board of Education, a small group of members entered two classrooms at Will Rogers Elementary, equipped with a workbook they had created. The objective was to teach fifth grade students general principles of architecture, and the world that surrounds them. A new program named ASTEK - Architecture Students Teaching Elementary Kids - was born.
