The Master of Arts in Architecture is a 36-credit post-professional program offering advanced study in three key domains: theoretical frameworks, applied research, and specialized practice topics. Students tailor their academic journey through coursework and independent projects, exploring diverse fields such as design philosophy and history, digital tools and visualization techniques, mapping, sustainable technologies, neuroarchitecture, furniture and industrial design, and innovative approaches to sustainable development. These focus areas align with FIU SOA's curriculum strengths, facilitating interdisciplinary research that leverages faculty expertise.
