The University of Cincinnati's School of Architecture and Interior Design (SAID) offers a graduate architecture program accessible to both students holding a pre-professional architecture bachelor's degree (M-Arch II, requiring 4 academic terms plus 1 co-op semester) and those with undergraduate degrees in other fields (M-Arch I, involving 6 academic terms and 2 co-op semesters).
UC's Master of Architecture program focuses on creating functional, lasting, significant, and inspiring structures that thoughtfully interact with their physical, cultural, and social environments. Architecture serves as both a practical art form and a technical skill grounded in ethical principles. Cincinnati's professional, design-focused curriculum addresses these diverse aspects, equipping graduates for licensure and meaningful participation in the architectural field. This analytical approach encourages questioning established norms and practices, examining their origins and impacts with both skepticism and curiosity.

A portfolio of creative work. The portfolio is an opportunity to demonstrate your imaginative and critical thinking talents. Creativity occurs in all fields so the content does not have to be architectural if your background is in another discipline. Written project statements to accompany visual work are usually very helpful to the committee. Portfolios are submitted through the online graduate admissions application. We do not accept hard copies of portfolios.
Three letters of recommendation from persons who are in a position to evaluate your abilities and your potential for success as a graduate student
A brief resume of your academic and professional experiences.
Note: Your resume should indicate both educational and professional accomplishments.
A two-page statement of your interest in graduate study in architecture. This should be a concise, articulate presentation of your academic and career goals, and any specific interests you have in architectural topics for graduate research and design. It should reflect your prior intellectual and professional engagement with these issues, and may also provide some additional perspective on the work illustrated in the portfolio.
Writing sample of your best professional and/or academic writing
For applicants whose native language is not English a TOEFL Test of English as a Foreign Language score of at least 100 iBT 600 paper is common although not a strict requirement We also accept test results from the IELTS with scores of at least 7.0
