Overview

The Department of Architecture offers two degrees at the masters level: a NAAB-accredited five-year plus non-Baccalaureate professional Master of Architecture and a research based post-professional Master of Science in Architecture.

The M.Arch program consists of a core of required professional courses supplemented by electives. These courses include a ten semester architectural design studio sequence, a four semester structural systems sequence, a three semester environmental systems sequence, and a two semester building science/construction systems sequence, among others. One hundred seventy (170) credit hours are required for graduation. Thirty (30) of these credit hours are taken at the graduate level, primarily in the ninth and tenth semesters of the program.

The MS.Arch program of study requires a minimum of 30 semester credit hours for completion of the degree. The program usually requires two years in residence, and is designed to enable students to pursue specialized study in specific architectural topics.
Additional information about these two degrees is available from the links below.

Resources

College of Architecture and Design resources include the Paul Weigel Library, a professionally staffed branch of the university’s main facility. It includes over 35,000 bound volumes and approximately 200 periodical subscriptions. Among other facilities supporting instruction and research in the College are the Technical Information Collection, the Computer Laboratory, the Krider Audio-Visual Learning Resource Center, and an artificial sky. Students in the college enjoy a diverse range of lectures, seminars, exhibits, and guest critics throughout the academic year.
