While prospective students are required to submit application materials through University of Arizona Undergraduate Admissions, our goal is to help you through the process.
Students who meet the general admissions requirements for Assured Admissions of the University of Arizona will be admitted to the Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Built Environments.
These include that you attended a regionally accredited high school AND:
• Rank in the top 25% of your graduating class, OR
• Have a 3.0 unweighted GPA through your sixth semester in the core competency requirements
For students who don’t meet the above requirements, the university utilizes a comprehensive review process, which means it considers many factors (academic, extracurricular and personal statement) when reviewing your application.
Application Process
The University of Arizona application process varies based on whether you are a first-year student, international student or transfer student. Learn more:
You Are Considered a Transfer Student If ...
You have completed 12+ transferable post-high school college credits.
At the start of your desired term, if you are:
- Under the age of 22
You will need to meet the Core Competency Requirements and have a minimum 2.0 cumulative college/university GPA. - 22 or older
You will need a minimum 2.0 cumulative college/university GPA.
Students interested in applying to the Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Built Environments (SBE) can often complete a two-year program at their local community college and complete the remaining two years of the SBE program at the University of Arizona. Students can also use SBE to launch into a graduate degree at CAPLA by applying to an Accelerated Master's Program (AMP) leading to a Master of Architecture, Master of Landscape Architecture or other options.
