The Fay Jones School offers a top-notch design education at an excellent value — and our graduates have enjoyed a strong placement rate. Many of our students have transferred from other programs. You can, too.
In the Fay Jones School, the majority of our degrees are accredited professional programs, meaning they are the first step towards licensure as an architect, landscape architect, or interior designer after graduation. Our accreditation requires students to complete rigorous coursework in design theory and fundamentals, including design studio coursework that allows you to complete real design projects solving real world issues. Transferring into our majors can look very different depending on whether you’re transferring from an accredited design program at another institution, or if you are transferring from a non-design program or changing your major from another college on campus at the U of A.
