Prospective Graduate Students
The School of Architecture offers three graduate study tracks, each presenting the diverse professional and academic opportunities possible within architecture and requiring concentrated study during the final graduate year. Graduates of the School depart with confidence in their abilities to contribute to professional practice. Because the studio is where general and professional knowledge meet through intense study, inquiry, and application, studio courses form the central element of the curriculum.
