In May 2006, the Kansas Board of Regents approved the College of Architecture, Planning, and Design request to change our degree offerings from bachelor’s to master’s degrees. Students who are currently in the third year can elect to remain in the undergraduate program and receive a bachelor’s degree or apply to the graduate school and, if accepted, receive a master’s degree.
The application process will take place in January 2008. In preparation for making your decision to apply to the graduate school, we believe the following information will be useful.
1. Why change my degree program from a bachelor’s to a master’s?
2. What are the CAPD’s academic expectations for
admission to the graduate school?
3.00 4.00 GPA Regular admission
2.75-2.99 GPA Probationary
admission at the discretion of the department
2.50-2.74 GPA Probationary
admission by department request
CAPD will provide you with your GPA based on the last 60 hours and a copy of your DARS report prior to January.
3. What will happen to my scholarship, Missouri Fee Waiver
and/or MSEP?
You will continue to receive these forms of financial support if you are admitted to a graduate program in architecture, interior architecture and product design, or landscape architecture. Graduate students in planning are not currently covered by the Missouri Fee Waiver or MSEP. However, a request to include planning as a covered program in MSEP has been submitted to the Provost for consideration and action.
4. How will becoming a graduate student affect my
financial aid?
5. How do I apply?

program?
You will receive a response from the graduate school within a month following review and acceptance by the department/program.
8. Questions:
We believe that the majority of our students are academically qualified and would benefit from changing their degree program. Serious consideration of this opportunity and discussion with faculty, advisors, family and friends is encouraged.
