The program highlights comprehensive architectural design and its connection to urban challenges and structural principles, along with the technical expertise required for professional architecture. Classes covering architectural history, theory, building science, visualization, fabrication, materials and construction, design/build projects, and global studies offer additional career preparation and chances to specialize. The coursework prioritizes cultivating research abilities to synthesize various knowledge domains into design. Students in our 2-year M Arch program join at Year Two, featuring a dual-quarter design studio series paired with complementary design technology courses. These classes merge considerations of materials, structural systems, and environmental factors through team-based instruction. Year Two's core studios address diverse scales and topics, spanning from urban planning to ecological frameworks.
