The Master of Science in Architecture is a STEM-certified, research-focused program designed for advanced professional development, consulting, academic careers, and doctoral preparation. UTSA provides two specialized tracks (Historic Preservation and Sustainable Architecture) while allowing students to pursue research aligned with faculty specialties. This program emphasizes analytical writing and research methodologies, equipping graduates for roles in academia, research, consulting, or continued advanced study.

The School of Architecture and Planning prepares emerging professionals in architecture and interior design through its graduate programs, which serve as terminal degrees for licensure qualification while accommodating post-professional and interdisciplinary students. The school leverages its distinctive position in downtown San Antonio, South Texas, and the U.S.-Mexico border region to enhance graduate studies.
