Graduate Admissions

The School of Architecture admits students through a selective admissions process.

The Graduate Program of the School of Architecture evaluates prospective student portfolios for breadth and variety of media, scale, and subject matter. Portfolios should demonstrate ability in areas of architectural design and communication. The graduate admissions committee evaluates portfolios for competence in architectural design, coherent demonstration of visual and spatial abilities expressed through a basic understanding of material and construction, drawing ability, and the use of color in two-dimensional and three-dimensional work.

Applicants to the Graduate Program of the School of Architecture must also apply to and be admitted to the Graduate School of the University of Kentucky.
