Admission to the School of Architecture is limited and highly competitive, and admissions to MSU does not guarantee acceptance into the design studio sequence of the architecture program. In addition to meeting MSU admission requirements, all architecture majors must also submit a Supplementary Application to the School of Architecture.

Students are evaluated based on academic, artistic and personal qualifications. Applicants who apply to Mississippi State University, who submit their Supplementary Application by the applicable deadline and who meet all qualifications will be assigned a seat in the appropriate design studio.

Although every student is unique, our school has three standard tracks for entering students. Click on the link that best describes your situation:
