All students who apply and are admitted to the Architecture School must show evidence that they have acquired the necessary academic abilities and skills to make the most of the curriculum. Those not demonstrating the command of these abilities and skills (as reflected by results of their College Entrance Examination Board Test and SAT; results in Polytechnic University’s placement tests; previous university experience; or other ad hoc tests and criteria) will be required to take preparatory courses to overcome the deficiencies in Languages, Mathematics and Science. These developmental courses (equivalent to 24 credit hours maximum) are in addition to the 186 credits required by the Architecture Program, for a total of 210 credit hours. The developmental courses are awarded their corresponding credits according to contact hours, as follows:
