Interviews for fall 2009 will be processed beginning September 1, 2008.
Applicants can request an architecture or a fine arts interview using the online Interview Request Form.
Please also review the specific information about interviews and other requirements for the architecture and fine arts programs. Interviews are not required if you are applying to the urban and regional studies major.
Important Note
Architecture and fine arts interviews are evaluative and carry significant weight in the admissions selection process. Please request an interview only if you are quite certain you will be applying to the architecture or fine arts major.
