Entrance Requirements
Required: Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2 , and Pre-Calculus
Recommended: Physics is strongly recommended
If students do not place into MATH 1033 College Algebra, MATH 1084 Calculus I, MATH 1323 Quantitative Reasoning, 1034 College Algebra of Functions, 1054 Precalculus, or 2124 Statistical Methods & Analysis, then MATH 1014 Algebra Concepts is a required prerequisite for completion of the major.

PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS
All students who apply to the BArch program are required to submit a portfolio of creative work that demonstrates their interest in design and the built environment. Through the portfolio, the department hopes to get a sense of the applicant as a creative individual. We understand that the portfolio will not demonstrate mastery of architecture, but instead present a student’s potential through explorations and representation of the built environment, which may be presented as art work such as drawings, sketches, models, sculpture, or photographs. The portfolio should focus mainly on the representation of space, but may also include a small representation of creative work such as woodworking, crafts, graphic design, and/or other creative endeavors (e.g., high school, college course) or from personal pursuits (e.g., employment, hobbies). Each portfolio should be a balanced representation of both two- and three-dimensional works. Alfred State College uses SlideRoom to collect portfolio details, which will guide all new students through the process of assembling the correct materials for the portfolio.
PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS
All transfer students from other institutions applying to the BArch program must submit a portfolio of creative work demonstrating their interest in design and the built environment. Students applying for transfer from institutions with which Alfred State College has an existing and active articulation agreement; SUNY Delhi, Dutchess CC, Erie CC, Finger Lakes CC, Hudson Valley CC, SUNY Morrisville, Onondaga CC, and Orange County CC, should submit a design portfolio responding to the requirements above.
Applicants from institutions with which Alfred State College does not have an active articulation agreement must submit a comprehensive academic portfolio for review which will include examples of student work, course syllabi, assignments, and grade reports and will be evaluated along with the student’s overall grade point average and studio course grades. Alfred State College uses SlideRoom to collect portfolio details, which will guide all transfer students through the process of assembling the correct materials for the portfolio.
