Architectural schools generally require a minimum of four years in residence. If the program is a six-year schedule, then two years may be taken at Harding. If the program is a five-year schedule, only one year at Harding may be transferred. For students who prefer two years at Harding, the following program is recommended. If only one year can be taken at Harding, an advisor can prepare an appropriate one-year program. In either case, it is helpful to know the requirements of the school to which the student wishes to transfer. Students transferring to another university may be required to take specific courses at that university before being accepted into their architectural program.

For students who prefer to stay at Harding for four years, the Interior Design degree at Harding offers an excellent foundation for future study in an architectural program.
