• I (think I) have now made all the changes suggested by Fay and Linda on 22/1/16. 
• Revised the entry requirements.
• Fine-tuned the first degree requirement.

Duration/intensity

The BAS represents three years of full-time study and may also be studied part-time.

Entry Requirements

To be accepted into the BAS you need to:

• achieved University Entrance for at least one of the admission types; and
• achieved an NCEA Guaranteed Entry Score (GES) of 180 points. Further information on the GES is available in the Admissions section.

Thoughts and questions

Degree requirements

• Total of 360 points required, of which:
  • At least 270 points must be from courses listed for the BAS
  • At least 210 points must be at 200 and 300 level.
  • Of the 210 points at least 180 points must be from courses listed for the BAS.
    • Of the 180 points at least of 75 points must be at 300 level.
• Complete eight core courses at 100 level (in first year):
  
  • SARC 111
  • SARC 112
  • SARC 121
  • SARC 122
  • SARC 131
  • SARC 151
  • SARC 161
  • SARC 162.
• Satisfy the requirements for one major (selected from the drop down list below).

Supplementary information

SARC 122 may be replaced by an elective course by students who:

• Have at least 14 NCEA Level 3 credits in each of two of Calculus, Physics, and Statistics; or
• Plan to study Landscape Architecture or Architecture History and Theory. Students in this category are still recommended to complete SARC 122 to keep their second year options open.

SARC 111 and SARC 161 may be replaced by DSDN 101 and DSDN 111 by students who plan to study Interior Architecture.

BAS students share "a common first year . . interests and needs" (GUS, p.38)

Entry to the second year is based on academic performance across all the first year courses.
