This

  Architecture’s	
  responses	
  to	
  the

  (VTR)	
  during	
  the	
  2010-­‐2011	
  academic

  with	
  the	
  exception	
  of	
  the	
  conditions	
  of	
  
Social	
  Equity,	
  Physical	
  Resources	
  and	
  Financial

  The

was	
  waived	
  by	
  the	
  NAAB	
  in	
  their

  dated	
  October	
  22,	
  2010	
  as	
  a

  of

  there

  Several

  We

The

  report	
  states,	
  “This	
  criterion	
  is	
  addressed	
  in	
  the	
  required

  course,	
  The	
  Human

  primarily	
  related	
  to

  and	
  issues	
  related	
  to

  Elective

enhance	
  exposure	
  to	
  and/or	
  understanding	
  of	
  diverse	
  and/or	
  non-­‐Western	
  cultures,	
  but	
  there	
  was	
  insufficient	
  
evidence	
  found	
  that	
  all	
  students	
  encounter	
  or	
  are	
  held	
  accountable	
  for

  The

  sensitivity	
  to	
  the	
  
human	
  experience	
  in	
  the	
  built	
  and/or	
  natural

  dominant	
  
American

  European	
  cultures,	
  either	
  contemporary	
  or	
  historical.	
  This	
  deficiency	
  is	
  only	
  exacerbated	
  by	
  the	
  lack	
  
of

We	
  continue	
  to	
  encourage	
  instructors	
  teaching

  as	
  needing	
  more

  This	
  was

Since	
  2007,	
  the	
  department	
  has	
  been	
  energized	
  by	
  six	
  new	
  tenure	
  track	
  faculty

  who	
  have	
  contributed	
  
innovations	
  to	
  our

  Two	
  new

  (the	
  
director	
  of	
  graduate	
  studies	
  and	
  the

  new

  in

  and	
  fabrication

  at	
  both

  have	
  increased	
  our	
  ability	
  to	
  
respond	
  to	
  students	
  and	
  support	
  their

Faculty	
  recruitment	
  and	
  retention	
  is	
  an	
  ongoing	
  process.	
  	
  Since	
  the	
  NAAB	
  team’s	
  visit	
  in	
  2007,	
  the	
  department	
  has	
  
succeeded	
  in	
  recruiting	
  several	
  new	
  faculty	
  members	
  and	
  retaining	
  several	
  key	
  faculty.	
  
	
  
In	
  2010,	
  one	
  assistant	
  professor	
  resigned	
  to	
  attend	
  to	
  his	
  professional	
  practice	
  in	
  Germany,	
  and	
  in	
  2011	
  the	
  
department	
  filled	
  this	
  open	
  position,	
  as	
  well	
  as	
  a	
  second	
  new	
  faculty	
  position,	
  with	
  individuals	
  who	
  came	
  to

  from	
  
other

After	
  two	
  years	
  in

  the	
  new	
  administrative	
  team	
  has	
  improved	
  communications	
  between	
  the	
  department’s	
  
standing	
  committees,	
  departmental	
  leadership,	
  and	
  the	
  faculty	
  as	
  a	
  whole	
  in	
  an	
  effort	
  to	
  more	
  effectively	
  monitor	
  
the	
  curriculum,	
  admissions	
  and	
  student	
  advising.	
  	
  We	
  have	
  provided	
  more	
  oversight	
  of	
  studio

  teams	
  and	
  
reviewed	
  course

RESPONSE	
  TO	
  CHANGES	
  IN	
  THE	
  2009

  CONDITIONS,	
  AND	
  RECENT	
  CHANGES	
  IN

  PROCEDURES

  we	
  prepare	
  our	
  APR,	
  the	
  department’s	
  curriculum	
  committee

  review	
  committee	
  are	
  continuing	
  to	
  
study	
  several	
  of	
  the	
  2009	
  SPC	
  to	
  determine	
  the	
  most	
  appropriate	
  placement	
  in	
  the	
  curriculum.	
  	
  	
  
We	
  have	
  also	
  initiated	
  a	
  process	
  to	
  change	
  the	
  name	
  of	
  our	
  post	
  professional	
  	
  M.Arch.	
  degree	
  in	
  response	
  to	
  the	
  
NAAB	
  ’s	
  decision	
  that	
  teams	
  will	
  be	
  required	
  to	
  view	
  same	
  degree	
  nomenclature	
  for	
  post	
  professional	
  degrees	
  as	
  
being	
  non-­‐compliant	
  with	
  NAAB	
  Conditions.	
  We	
  anticipate	
  concluding	
  this

OTHER	
  PROGRAM	
  CHANGES	
  SINCE	
  2007	
  
There	
  have	
  been	
  some	
  curricular	
  changes	
  made	
  to	
  the	
  accredited	
  Master	
  of	
  Architecture	
  Program	
  that	
  make	
  the	
  
requirements	
  for	
  the	
  Option	
  II	
  and	
  Option	
  III	
  tracks	
  consistent	
  for	
  all	
  students	
  beginning	
  the	
  M.Arch.	
  	
  program	
  in	
  
2012	
  or	
  later.	
  	
  These	
  changes	
  require	
  all	
  M.Arch.	
  	
  students	
  to	
  pursue	
  an	
  area	
  of	
  concentration.	
  It	
  increases	
  the	
  
number	
  of	
  credits	
  some	
  students	
  will	
  apply	
  to	
  elective	
  study.	
  	
  These	
  changes	
  do	
  not	
  affect	
  the	
  content	
  of	
  the	
  
required	
  courses	
  that	
  are	
  used	
  to

  continues	
  to	
  attract	
  large	
  numbers

  students.	
  	
  We	
  are	
  also	
  
seeing	
  an	
  increase	
  in	
  student	
  interest	
  in	
  concurrent	
  master’s	
  degrees,

  in	
  the

  81-­‐credit	
  requirement	
  to	
  an	
  87-­‐credit	
  requirement	
  for	
  Option

  for	
  the	
  professional	
  degree,	
  either	
  through

  Now,	
  the

  3	
  Requirements	
  to	
  Include	
  Same	
  Advanced	
  Study	
  as	
  the	
  Option	
  2	
  Program	
  
Rationale:	
  All	
  professional-­‐degree	
  graduate	
  students	
  are	
  required	
  to	
  take	
  15	
  units	
  of	
  advanced	
  study	
  in	
  particular	
  subject	
  areas	
  or	
  focused	
  interests.	
  Within	
  subject	
  areas,	
  the	
  15	
  units	
  may	
  be	
  any	
  combination	
  of	
  seminar	
  or	
  elective	
  courses	
  that	
  are	
  at	
  least	
  2	
  units,	
  independent	
  study,	
  or	
  research.	
  Up	
  to	
  six	
  studio	
  units	
  may	
  be	
  allowed	
  for	
  studios	
  whose	
  topics	
  are	
  strongly	
  related	
  to	
  the	
  subject	
  area.	
  	
  The	
  intention	
  of	
  this	
  change	
  is	
  to	
  require	
  that	
  all	
  professional-­‐degree	
  graduate	
  students	
  take	
  an	
  advanced	
  course/independent	
  study	
  cluster.	
  It	
  is	
  also	
  intended	
  to	
  help	
  us	
  move	
  toward	
  a	
  formalization	
  of	
  the	
  curricular	
  concentrations	
  that	
  have	
  been	
  discussed	
  over	
  the	
  last	
  three	
  years.	
  	
  Until	
  now,	
  we	
  have	
  asked	
  Option	
  2	
  students	
  to	
  come	
  up	
  with	
  their	
  own	
  cluster.	
  What	
  will	
  change	
  is	
  that	
  lists	
  of	
  possible	
  courses	
  will	
  be	
  provided,	
  which	
  will	
  provide	
  a	
  “ready-­‐made”	
  way	
  of	
  satisfying	
  the	
  requirement.	
  This	
  will	
  make	
  administration	
  easier	
  for	
  the	
  larger	
  number	
  of	
  students	
  who	
  now	
  need	
  to	
  satisfy	
  the	
  requirement,	
  as	
  individual	
  petitions	
  will	
  not	
  have	
  to	
  be	
  reviewed.	
  However,	
  students	
  will	
  still	
  have	
  the	
  option	
  of	
  coming	
  up	
  with	
  their	
  own	
  clusters	
  based	
  on	
  individual	
  interests,	
  and	
  of	
  including	
  in	
  those	
  units	
  any	
  number	
  of	
  units	
  of	
  independent	
  study	
  and/or	
  research,	
  and	
  a	
  studio	
  in	
  the	
  subject	
  area	
  of	
  the	
  cluster.	
  These	
  cases	
  will	
  still	
  require	
  petitions.

Increase

  Context	
  of	
  the	
  Profession	
  course	
  from	
  3	
  to

Rationale:	
  
ARCH	
  4/517	
  Context	
  of	
  the	
  Profession	
  covers	
  more	
  NAAB	
  Student	
  Performance	
  Criteria	
  than	
  any	
  single	
  course	
  other	
  
than	
  terminal	
  studio,	
  and	
  for	
  fewer	
  credits	
  than	
  other	
  core	
  courses.	
  In	
  nine	
  weeks,	
  at	
  3	
  credit	
  hours,	
  it	
  is	
  difficult	
  to	
  fit	
  
this	
  volume	
  of	
  material	
  into	
  a	
  course	
  with	
  a	
  real	
  expectation	
  of	
  student	
  synthesis	
  and	
  retention.	
  
This	
  was	
  identified	
  as	
  a	
  concern	
  by	
  the	
  NAAB	
  visiting	
  team	
  in	
  2007.	
  Given	
  the	
  amount	
  of	
  material	
  covered,	
  it	
  should,	
  
like	
  other	
  required	
  core	
  courses,	
  be	
  offered	
  at	
  4	
  credits.	
  	
  While	
  NAAB	
  criteria	
  do	
  not,	
  and	
  should	
  not,	
  dictate	
  
curriculum,	
  this	
  course	
  comes	
  under	
  intense	
  scrutiny	
  at	
  every	
  accreditation	
  review.	
  	
  	
  
The	
  additional	
  credit	
  will	
  increase	
  the	
  number	
  of	
  hours	
  of	
  student	
  engagement	
  available	
  to	
  address	
  required	
  content.

  Architecture	
  Studies	
  
	
  
	
  
Rationale:	
  
Last	
  year	
  the	
  NAAB	
  implemented	
  a	
  policy	
  directing	
  visiting	
  teams	
  to	
  evaluate	
  the	
  condition	
  related	
  to	
  degree	
  
programs	
  as	
  "not	
  met"	
  at	
  any	
  school	
  that	
  uses	
  the	
  M.Arch.	
  title	
  for	
  any	
  degree	
  that	
  is	
  not	
  NAAB	
  accredited.	
  	
  The	
  
M.Arch.	
  title	
  of	
  our	
  Option	
  I	
  program	
  will	
  trigger	
  this	
  when	
  the	
  team	
  visits	
  in	
  2013,	
  unless	
  we	
  take	
  steps	
  to	
  rename	
  
the	
  Option	
  I	
  degree.	
  
	
  
We	
  have	
  experienced	
  other	
  problems,	
  such	
  as:	
  
	
  
The	
  Option	
  I	
  degree	
  can	
  be	
  a	
  valuable,	
  research	
  intensive	
  experience	
  for	
  students	
  who	
  have	
  a	
  professional	
  master's	
  
degree	
  from	
  the	
  UO	
  or	
  elsewhere,	
  but	
  the	
  UO	
  will	
  not	
  permit	
  students	
  to	
  earn	
  two	
  degrees	
  here	
  with	
  the	
  same	
  title,	
  
and	
  it	
  is	
  awkward	
  for	
  the	
  resumes	
  of	
  students	
  coming	
  to	
  us	
  from	
  other	
  schools	
  to	
  show	
  the	
  same	
  degree	
  title	
  twice.	
  	
  
Students	
  who	
  have	
  M.Arch.	
  degrees	
  (some	
  earned	
  in	
  a	
  compressed	
  five	
  year	
  program	
  similar	
  to	
  our	
  B.Arch.)	
  will	
  not	
  
consider	
  the	
  UO	
  for	
  this	
  reason,	
  even	
  though	
  we	
  offer	
  a	
  high	
  quality	
  research	
  master's	
  degree.	
  
	
  
Students	
  who	
  hold	
  the	
  international	
  equivalent	
  of	
  an	
  accredited	
  degree,	
  and	
  therefore	
  were	
  admitted	
  to	
  our	
  Option	
  I	
  
program,	
  have	
  on	
  their	
  resumes,	
  an	
  M.Arch.	
  degree	
  from	
  an	
  accredited	
  U.S.	
  school	
  that	
  does	
  not	
  meet	
  NCARB's	
  
education	
  requirement.	
  	
  When	
  issues	
  of	
  professional	
  credentials	
  or	
  reciprocity	
  arise,	
  this	
  causes	
  confusion	
  for	
  our	
  
international	
  graduates,	
  their	
  employers	
  and	
  NCARB.	
  	
  We	
  are	
  aware	
  of	
  some	
  embarrassing	
  situations	
  that	
  have	
  arisen	
  
over	
  this	
  one,	
  and	
  although	
  it	
  has	
  not	
  happened	
  here,	
  other	
  schools	
  have	
  had	
  to	
  deal	
  with	
  lawsuits	
  from	
  graduates	
  
over	
  misrepresentation.	
  
	
  
The	
  Master	
  of	
  Science,	
  rather	
  than	
  the	
  Master	
  of	
  Arts	
  is	
  proposed	
  because	
  the	
  subjects	
  studied	
  and	
  theses	
  produced	
  
by	
  our	
  Option	
  I	
  students	
  are	
  a	
  better	
  fit	
  for	
  the	
  M.S.	
  which	
  expects	
  fieldwork,	
  quantitative	
  analysis	
  or	
  
systematic/comparative	
  studies	
  and	
  is	
  more	
  often	
  used	
  for	
  applied	
  work	
  in	
  the	
  professions,	
  rather	
  than	
  the	
  Master	
  of	
  
Arts	
  model	
  which	
  requires	
  foreign	
  language	
  proficiency	
  and	
  is	
  more	
  often	
  used	
  for	
  theoretical	
  work	
  in	
  the	
  
humanities.	
  The	
  M.S.	
  is	
  also	
  used	
  in	
  similar	
  post-­‐professional	
  architecture	
  programs	
  at	
  many	
  of	
  our	
  comparator	
  
schools.
