Tyler materials
Students with previous credits in architecture from other institutions may be considered for admission with advanced standing based on portfolio review and evaluation of credits and coursework. Architecture transfer students who have taken studio courses must submit a portfolio for transfer studio credit evaluation. A portfolio is not required for admissions consideration otherwise. Placement in the program will be reviewed by Tyler’s Transfer Committee.
During the review, the Transfer Committee will determine if the applicant is admissible into the program and will also review which studio credits are transferable to Tyler. The number of studio credits we accept will also determine their studio year (placement).
A portfolio is required for assessment of studio coursework. Images must be uploaded to Temple Slideroom. SlideRoom charges a one-time $10 fee for this service.
Fall transfer students wishing to compete for portfolio-based scholarships must submit a self-portrait and statement of purpose as described in the scholarship application.
Tip: Do not send portfolio materials or original work through the mail. These will not be accepted and will not be reviewed or returned.
