The Architecture Program provides two Master's degree options. The Master of Architecture (M ARCH) is the NAAB-accredited professional degree, serving as the foundational requirement for those aiming to become licensed architects in North America. Students with an undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Architecture may be eligible for the accelerated four-semester Path A Advanced Standing Track. Those coming from non-architecture backgrounds should consider the seven-semester Path B curriculum. For students with architecture coursework but no Bachelor of Science degree, we'll assess prior education to determine potential advanced standing based on academic records.
