Academic Prerequisites: A UGC-recognized four-year bachelor’s degree (any discipline) or a master’s degree (for those with a three-year bachelor’s).
No specific prior architecture coursework required, but non-architecture applicants must satisfy “Basic Studies” (waivable by demonstrating equivalent coursework).
GPA Expectations: USC conducts a holistic review and does not prescribe a minimum GPA. Competitive applicants typically present strong records (often ≥ 3.0 on a 4.0 scale).
Portfolio (10–25 digital files) + an Architecture-writing/video supplement (submitted via Slide Room).
