Extramural Electives
You are encouraged to take electives in other departments and universities, especially if your academic plan and thesis topic include a subject other than architecture. The class time cannot conflict with your Architecture courses. You may take one elective (maximum 3 credit-hours) during each half of the MArch work term. A course that was taken before you entered the graduate program cannot be counted as a transfer credit toward the MArch elective requirement. (For details, go to: > Graduate Studies > Faculty of Graduate Studies Regulations > VII. Degree Requirements > 7.6.5.)
Elective Options
Each student needs to take four electives in the MArch program. Two of those electives must be graduate-level, 5xxx or higher. They can be in any subject, including ARCH. (ARCH 6002: Free Lab is a graduate elective.)
Two of those four electives may be 3xxx- or 4xxx-level undergraduate courses in a non-ARCH subject at 果酱视频 only. To count toward a graduate degree, the final undergraduate grade must be B鈥� or higher.
Extramural Options
1. Take a course (3xxx or higher) from another 果酱视频 department
In most cases, you can simply register for the course on Dal Online, as no permission is needed from Architecture or Graduate Studies. If the course is restricted (indicated by an R in its timetable listing) or you don't have the prerequisite, you can request permission from the instructor, based on other academic experience. To obtain the instructor's e-mail address, go to the department web page and send a message to the department office.
