Welcome to the School of Architecture

The School of Architecture offers two paths for students to earn the Master of Architecture degree:

Master of Architecture - The M. Arch is a two year professional degree program for students holding a four-year Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies (BS in AS), or a similar degree in architecture recognized by the NAAB for direct entry into a two year M. Arch program. To earn this degree, students must complete a total of 62 hours of graduate credit.
Master of Architecture (Admission for those without BS in AS) - This graduate program results in the same M. Arch degree. It is designed for students holding a bachelor’s degree or higher in a field other than architecture. The program is also for applicants holding undergraduate architecture degrees that are not recognized by the NAAB for direct entry into a two year M. Arch program. The program varies in length, but normally takes four years. Upon completion of undergraduate courses as prerequisites, which normally takes two years, students pursue the two-year M. Arch professional degree program. To earn this degree, students may need to complete 65 hours of undergraduate credit (depending upon the undergraduate degree courses previously taken) and 54 hours of graduate credit.

Dual Degree Options

Students may also select from programs that satisfy requirements for the Master of Architecture professional degree program and requirements for a second master's degree in a related field, including:
