Courses at the GSAPP

About:

If you're considering enrolling in a GSAPP course for an upcoming semester, please wait until the first week of classes to access the updated B+C|A List of GSAPP Courses Approved for our Majors and Minor. Each semester, this list undergoes updates and is published during the initial week of classes.

All GSAPP courses that appear on this list have been approved to satisfy the "Elective" requirements in our major. Some courses will be approved to satisfy additional requirements such as: "History"; "SEG" - Society, Environment, Global; "DMT" - Design, Media, Technology; and "Senior Course" and these are all noted on the approved list. For a comprehensive view of available GSAPP courses for cross-registration, please visit The Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation (GSAPP) website. 

Instructions:

1. If you are interested in taking a GSAPP course, please wait until the start of the semester to review the B+C|A List of GSAPP Courses Approved for our Majors and Minor. Please note that typically, GSAPP courses are only recommended for students at an advanced level within the architecture major. 

2. Attend the course you are interested in taking. Confirm with the instructor that they are willing to accommodate an undergraduate student in their class. 

3. Contact your architecture major advisor to confirm how the course aligns with your remaining requirements. You may be asked to share a copy of the course syllabus for review. 

4. Once steps 1-3 are completed, you may proceed with filling out the GSAPP's Office of Student Affairs Add/Drop Form to register for the course. 

N.B. If you are a Barnard College student, you should follow up with the Barnard Office of the Registrar after completing steps 1-4 to confirm that you have been successfully enrolled in the course.

For any inquiries, feel free to reach out to your major advisor or directly contact The GSAPP Office of Student Affairs at studentaffairs@arch.columbia.edu.
