Miami Plan

It is important that you consult with your academic adviser to be sure that you select courses that also meet requirements for your major.

Requirements for Graduation

Candidates for degrees must comply with all university academic regulations and must complete one of the curricula outlined. If you are a Bachelor of Arts candidate (an exception is Bachelor of Arts in Architecture), you must also fulfill The College of Arts and Science requirements described in that chapter of the Bulletin.

A minimum of 128 semester hours is required for graduation by all departments in the School of Fine Arts. Miami Plan courses are included in this total. In many programs of study it will take longer than four years to complete the professional requirements for your bachelor's degree.

If you are interested in architecture, art, music, or theatre, but are undecided about making a commitment to these fields, you can choose one of the no-major programs. Before choosing this option, however, you must talk with a School of Fine Arts adviser and a chief departmental adviser. Students who choose this option must fulfill departmental admission requirements before being admitted as a major. In many programs of study it will take longer than four years to complete the professional requirements for your bachelor's degree.

Architecture: Bachelor of Arts in Architecture

For information contact the Department of Architecture and Interior Design, 101 Alumni Hall (513-529-7210).

This preprofessional degree prepares you to either enter a professional graduate program to become a registered/licensed architect or enter an architectural field at a preprofessional level. Miami offers a graduate program, which leads to the professional degree Master of Architecture; it is described in the Graduate Bulletin, available from the Graduate School.

Freshman and sophomore courses introduce the basics of architecture and the range of opportunities available in the field. Junior and senior courses focus on advanced architectural design, landscape, and urban design. Throughout the program, you are exposed to the interdisciplinary nature of architecture.

Interior Design: Bachelor of Fine Arts

For information contact the Department of Architecture and Interior Design, 101 Alumni Hall (513-529-7210).

This is a professional degree program leading to the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Graduates are prepared to enter the interior design field or to enter a graduate program in interior design or a related discipline.

The curriculum promotes competency in fundamental design, design process, and visual communication, and an understanding of interior materials and systems, history and theory, and professional procedures. Graduates integrate the various aesthetic, social, technical, and graphic requirements of interior design problems.

The program balances liberal learning with a comprehensive professional education. It emphasizes interdisciplinary learning (reflective of the discipline and of trends in practice) by requiring several courses outside the major and by emphasizing interdisciplinary courses and projects. The program promotes independent, self-directed course work and research, with the intention of developing in the student a specialized knowledge as a complement to a broad-based, generalized understanding of the discipline.

Architecture and Interior Design:
Special Admission Requirements

Admission is possible only in the fall semester. Minimum requirements in mathematics include one and one-half units of algebra, one-half unit of plane geometry, one-half unit in solid or analytic geometry, and one-half unit in trigonometry. You must also have completed a year of physics. Courses in studio art or other creative areas (music, drama, creative writing) are strongly encouraged because they help you develop creative potential as well as critical judgment.

Evidence of creative aptitude must be submitted in the form of a portfolio; contact the department for submission guidelines. A personal interview is highly recommended. The departmental admission committee will evaluate your scholastic achievements and general academic profile in addition to the evidence of creativity revealed in the portfolio submission. Please contact the Department of Architecture and Interior Design for further information about portfolio submission and interviews.

To transfer, you must meet the above criteria (including portfolio interview with the departmental admission committee) and have a minimum 3.0 cumulative g.p.a. Transfers after the second year are generally restricted to students coming from other undergraduate professional or preprofessional architecture and interior design programs.

National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) Statement

The following statement is required by the NAAB.

Most states require that an individual intending to become an architect holds an accredited degree. There are two types of degrees accredited by the NAAB: (1) Bachelor of Architecture, which requires a minimum of five years of study, and (2) Master of Architecture, which requires a minimum of three years of study following an unrelated bachelor's degree or two years following a related preprofessional bachelor's degree. These professional degrees are structured to educate those who aspire to registration/licensure as architects.

The four-year preprofessional degree, where offered, is not accredited by NAAB. The preprofessional degree is useful for those wishing a
foundation in the field of architecture as preparation for either continued education in a professional degree program or for employment options in architecturally related areas.

Special Curriculum Requirements

First Year in Western College Program

All first-year students in architecture and interior design must participate in the Western College Program in Miami's School of Interdisciplinary Studies. This program emphasizes student-faculty interaction and an interdisciplinary approach to general education, complementing the integrative nature of design disciplines.

Advancing to Upperclass Standing

Your work is reviewed at the close of your second and third years. Regardless of grades in individual courses, the faculty may deny a student further registration as a major in the department if they conclude this is in the student's best interest. In this event, it may be possible for a student to apply for transfer to another academic division and, subject to regulations of that division, continue to register for certain courses in architecture on an elective basis.

Departmental Honors

You are eligible to graduate with departmental honors if you meet the following conditions.

1. Cumulative g.p.a. of 3.5 or better.
2. Significant contribution to one or more of the following:
   • Enhancement to department life. This may include assisting in lower division courses as an undergraduate associate, serving as an officer in a student organization such as AIAS, ASID, or SAC, working on student-initiated lecture series, etc.
   • Advanced research effort. This may include helping faculty with research projects or undertaking an independent research project (e.g., Summer Scholar program).
   • Socially responsive volunteering. This may include assisting organizations such as Habitat for Humanity or ReStoc, preferably in an architectural capacity, or collaborating with faculty in similar efforts beyond minimum classroom requirements.
3. Inform the departmental honors adviser of your progress and efforts.

Admission to Graduate Program

If you intend to continue into the Master of Architecture program, three of your four junior and senior design studios must focus on building design. Many other advanced courses and seminars are available that may be taken for either graduate or undergraduate credit. See the Courses of Instruction section in this Bulletin and the architecture program requirements in the Graduate Bulletin.

These art programs prepare producing and exhibiting artists, designers, artists-crafts persons, art and architectural historians, professionals in related fields, and art teachers for careers in art and related art fields. Course offerings include basic studio areas, art education, history of art, and advanced studio disciplines.

The department also offers graduate programs leading to Master of Fine Arts and Master of Arts degrees. More information on these programs is available in the Graduate Bulletin or from the Graduate School.

B.F.A. and B.S. in Art: Admission Requirements

The admission process for the B.F.A. and B.S. in Art in art education programs within the Department of Art includes submission of a portfolio of slides of recent work for review by the art faculty. The purpose of the review is to assess artistic potential and to assist faculty in advising students on program and career choices. Please understand that an impressive portfolio is a goal to be achieved during study, not a prerequisite for entrance. Your portfolio should consist of 12 to 15 slides of recent work. Please contact the Department of Art for the detailed requirements of a portfolio review.

For information about the graphic design program, please see Studio Art—Graphic Design.

Transfer Admission

Bachelor of Fine Arts

Students enrolled at Hamilton, Middletown, or Oxford campus who wish to be admitted to the department must undergo a portfolio review. Portfolios should include 15 examples of your university art work and a current grade transcript. Portfolios may be submitted only after you have successfully completed a minimum of six credit hours of art studio courses. If only the minimum of six credit hours is completed, you must also enroll in at least six additional hours of art studio at the time your portfolio is submitted. Register for a portfolio review in the departmental office; the department designates a time during each semester to review portfolios and make admission decisions.

Students from other universities and colleges who wish to transfer to the department must first be admitted to Miami University and then follow the same admission procedures required of all Miami students who are not art majors. Transfer credit (comparable art studio courses taken at other universities and colleges) may fulfill part or all of the required prerequisites of art studio courses needed for admission consideration; however, a portfolio of art work is still required for admission consideration.

Students who are denied admission in their initial attempt may apply a second time. Students who are denied in their second attempt are ineligible for further admission consideration.

The department offers the Bachelor of Music in music education and music performance and the Bachelor of Arts in Music. The graduate degree, Master of Music, is offered in these fields and is described in the Graduate Bulletin.

The bachelor's degree programs offer preparation for careers in public school teaching, performance, and for future study at the graduate level. It is also the objective of the department to provide courses in music theory and literature, applied music, and ensemble for non-music majors. Applied music and ensemble require audition.

Special Admission Requirements: Music Majors

All music majors require audition for admission to the department. Each applied area (voice, piano, flute, etc.) has its own standards for admission. For more information contact the Department of Music, 119 Center for Performing Arts (513-529-3014).

Special Curriculum Requirements

All students enrolled in a music major are required to participate in one of the large ensembles each semester: University Symphony Orchestra, Marching Band, Symphonic Band, Collegiate Chorale, Chamber Singers, Choraliers, Men's Glee Club, and Wind Ensemble. Entrance to each group is by audition. Music education majors are not required to participate in an ensemble during the semester of student teaching.

All music majors except for the Bachelor of Arts in Music require completion of MUS 261 Functional Piano or a proficiency examination.

Honors Program

Music students may apply for honors work at the end of the junior year. Requirements for the program include a 3.5 cumulative g.p.a., sponsorship by a member of the music faculty, and approval of the department chair.

The program includes independent study (MUS 481-482) during the senior year and an examination over the chosen area of study. The examining committee is chosen by the dean of the School of Fine Arts. Successful students graduate with departmental honors.

Music: Bachelor of Arts in Music

For information contact the Department of Music, 119 Center for Performing Arts (513-529-3014).

Note: Changes to this program are being considered as this Bulletin goes to press. Please contact the department for more information.

This program is distinct from professional music programs in the department because it contains more liberal arts courses. It is recommended for students who wish to broadly study the field of music.

Music Education: Bachelor of Music

For information contact the Department of Music, 119 Center for Performing Arts (513-529-3014).

Two programs, both with licensure for age 3 through grade 12, are offered: choral/general program and instrumental music program. Both programs include 100 hours of field experiences in urban, suburban, and rural schools prior to student teaching.

Admission to upperclass standing is contingent upon these requirements: (1) minimum g.p.a. of 2.7 in all music courses; (2) advanced standing in major applied area; (3) admission to teacher licensure (described in the School of Education and Allied Professions chapter). Music teacher licensure requires 30 semester hours of course work in areas other than music and education.

Majors are assigned full-time supervised teaching during first or second semester of the senior year. During this semester, you cannot participate in any ensembles or carry any other academic work except with special permission of the faculty.
