Information for Transfer Students
Transfer Students with Fewer Than 60 Credit Hours
Students who have attended any college or university and who have earned 12 or more semester
hours (except as high school dual-enrolled students) are considered transfer students. Transfer
applicants with fewer than 60 semester hours must meet the First-Time-In-College (FTIC)
admission rules. (See:
Prospective Students, High School) Transfer students without a FAMU-equivalent,
lower-level architecture curriculum will be admitted into the pre-architecture program provided
they meet all criteria for FTIC students and have:
- Two years of foreign language in high school or eight semester hours (or the equivalent) of
a foreign language at an accredited undergraduate institute prior to enrollment,
- Good standing eligibility at last institution attended,
- 60 semester hours and at least a "C" (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) in all college work attempted at an
accredited institution,
- Passing scores on three of the four sub-tests of CLAST prior to admission into the Upper
Division of the University, and
- A score of 500 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for international
applicants.
Transfer Students with Associate of Arts Degrees
Students transferring with over 60 credit hours or with an Associate of Arts (AA) degree may be
admitted if they have achieved:
- A 2.5 overall GPA in their college-level courses,
- Successful completion of the College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST),
- Grades of "C" or better in all course work, and
- A score of 500 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for international
applicants.
Associate of Arts Degree Transfers from Pre-architecture Programs
The School of Architecture has articulation agreements with several community colleges around
the state. Graduates of these programs may be admitted directly into the Upper Division at
FAMU if they have met the following requirements:
- Grade of "C" or better in calculus, physics, and all architecture (ARC) course work,
- Completion of all course work in pre-architecture equivalent to the freshman and
sophomore years of the FAMU School of Architecture curriculum,
- ARC cumulative GPA of 2.5 or better,
- Overall cumulative GPA of 2.5 or better,
- Successful completion of three of the four sub-tests of the College Level Academic Skills
Test (CLAST),
- Submission of the School of Architecture APPLICATION FOR UPPER DIVISION STATUS,
- A score of 500 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for international
applicants.
For an evaluation of your academic transcript to determine placement in the pre-architecture
program, contact the School of Architecture's Coordinator of Recruitment and Retention, Mr.
Ron Lumpkin.
Out-of-State Transfers
Students transferring with or without an AA degree from out of state must meet all the above
criteria and must submit course descriptions from all previous institutions to the School of
Architecture prior to enrolling. Final placement is given only after the School evaluates all
course work on a course-by-course basis. The final transcript and course descriptions of all architecture courses must be submitted to Ronald Lumpkin, Coordinator of Recruitment and Retention. These can be mailed to the following address:
Florida A&M University School of Architecture
1938 S. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd.
Tallahassee, FL 32307-4200
Associate of Science Degree Transfers
The Associate of Science (AS) degree is a two-year terminal degree and does not assure
admission or certify the applicant as having completed the general education requirements or
qualify for Upper Division status. Accordingly, final determination of AS degree credits rests
with the Dean of the School of Architecture.
Application for Admission
Students must submit an application for admission, an official copy of all transcripts, and a
nonrefundable application fee in the form of a check or money order of $20.00. If mailed, send
to:
Office of Admissions
Florida A & M University
Tallahassee, FL 32307
