Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs

This program is for those with a professional undergraduate degree in architecture (B.Arch.). The Post-Professional Master of Architecture Program provides an opportunity for one to two years of advanced study with an emphasis on design, research and teaching.  The full multidisciplinary resources of the school are available, including a certificate program in Historic Preservation, and coursework in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Architectural History and Urban and Environmental Planning.  The curriculum is tailored to the individual student, typically combining design studios with focused course work and collaboration with faculty members in research or teaching.  During the first year of study, the student may elect, with the approval of the Chair, to pursue studies for an additional semester or year, culminating in research with a faculty advisor or teaching in a coordinated undergraduate design studio.  Collaborative opportunities include advanced research in urbanism, computing, community development and design-build work.  Because of the individualized nature of this program, the applicant is encouraged to visit the School of Architecture for an interview. Each student develops a specific curriculum with a minimum of thirty credits in consultation with the chair. The duration of study may be extended beyond one year with permission of the chair. This degree is not accredited by NAAB. International students interested in gaining licensure in the United States should apply to the professional degree program.
