The Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus, the Dean of the Graduate College, and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur in this proposal.

REVISION OF THE CURRICULA IN ARCHITECTURE, URBANA (17) The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a recommendation from the Department of Architecture, College of Fine and Applied Arts, that the current five-year undergraduate curriculum (leading to the degree of Bachelor of Architecture) and the graduate curricula (leading to the degrees of Master of Architecture and Master of Science in Architectural Engineering) be replaced by a fouryear undergraduate curriculum in architectural studies leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies and a two-year graduate curriculum leading to the degree of Master of Architecture. The proposed revision recognizes the rapidly changing role of the architect in the urban complexes of today and is designed to accomplish three major objectives: 1. T o provide a better and more extensive background of general education as a basis for understanding the enlarged role of the architect and urban designer in today's society. 2. To provide a basic four-year education in architectural studies which would provide a sound foundation for those who are qualified and desire to continue with professional study or equip students not wishing to continue with architecture as a profession to enter several avenues of activity in the general domain of architecture, urban planning, and the building industry at the semi-professional level. 3. T o enable students who are qualified and interested to continue with two additional years of professional study in architecture and urban design at the graduate level and to provide for a large degree of flexibility in the selection of special fields of concentration such as architectural design, urban design, architectural administration and building construction, architectural structures, environmental technology, architectural history and the preservation of historic monuments. The degree, Master of Architecture, granted upon satisfactory completion of this curriculum, will be the professional degree in architecture. These proposed revisions, which are the result of several years of study by the department, are similar to those being implemented in numerous other schools of architecture and parallel the general attitude of architectural educators in this country.
