Special Program Requirements

Several programs have special requirements, as indicated below. Please note that while some of these requirements are strict, others can be more lenient. You may want to contact the department chairperson of your intended major if you have a question or concern.

Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.): Students are not admitted directly into the five-year B.Arch. program, but are reviewed first for admissions to the B.S. in Architectural Technology (B.S.A.T.). After completing at least 30 NYIT credits and achieving at least a 2.75 cumulative average in all coursework or a 3.0 cumulative average in architecture courses, transfer B.S.A.T. students may apply for admission to the B.Arch. program. Admission to the B.Arch. program requires the submission of a representative portfolio of design work and its review and acceptance by a committee of faculty members.

B.S./M.S. in Occupational Therapy: You will need to submit proof of 100 hours of volunteer work with an occupational therapist and an essay explaining your desire to work in this field. An interview with occupational therapy faculty is required. One of your two letters of recommendation must be from a licensed occupational therapist.

B.S./D.P.T.: You will need to submit proof of 100 hours of volunteer work with a physical therapist and an essay explaining your desire to work in this field. An interview with physical therapy faculty is required. One of your two letters of recommendation must be from a licensed physical therapist.
