Student-in-Need Travel Funds
At this time, all funds for the 2016/17 academic year have been distributed.
Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, students who may not otherwise be able to afford class-related field trips now have the possibility to apply for funding assistance through the Architecture Department.
These fellowships are available to students in planning, architecture, landscape architecture and urban design.
Co-op/Internships Board
The Architecture Department Co-op/Internship Board is focused on positions for undergraduate students only.
Students doing a co-op receive academic credit while acquiring professional skills and earning an income. A co-op, however, is more than a job; it is a workplace-based learning opportunity that is supported by student observation and reflection. Co-op positions are available to undergraduate students that have completed at least the third year of Cal Poly's Architecture program. For Cal Poly purposes, an internship provides a similar opportunity as a co-op but is unpaid. Internship positions are available to all undergraduate students. For more information on our co-op/internship program, including employer and student requirements, please visit the Cooperative Education and Internship page.
If you have a co-op or internship opening that you would like posted on this board, please fill out and submit the online Co-op/Internship Board Submittal Form. The department reserves the right to edit any submittals for length and clarity.
