The Master of Architecture program offers a diverse range of tools and methods, providing students with a challenging yet creative architectural education. Our close-knit community includes globally renowned faculty who are predominantly on campus during the semester to interact with our dynamic, multicultural student population. Graduates emerge as innovative designers, worldly thinkers, and analytical researchers. Students develop the skills to redefine the principles, limits, and approaches of architectural work. The program accepts candidates holding any four-year BA or BS degree, with varied academic and professional experiences enhancing our first-professional MArch program. Those with prior architecture qualifications may qualify for advanced standing. The two-year Master of Architecture (First Professional) serves as an accelerated option for students who have finished an undergraduate architecture program and receive an advanced placement recommendation from the admissions committee. Priority consideration is extended to applicants who hold a Bachelor of Science in Architecture or a Bachelor of Architecture degree.
