SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE –
GRADUATE
www.arc.miami.edu
The Master of Architecture post-professional program provides
an environment for serious inquiry into the nature of architecture.
Post-professional study is available to students holding
an accredited degree in architecture who wish to develop a
specialization in architectural theory and practice.
Three areas of study offer students the opportunity to investigate
specific aspects of architecture and to elaborate their understanding
for future teaching, research, publications and professional
practice.
Master of Urban Design
• This concentration consists of three semesters
of directed study to explore in-depth the existing state
of suburbs and cities, study precedents and propose design
solutions.
• The faculty is dedicated to seeking alternatives
to modern patterns of urban growth.
• The Miami metropolitan area provides a laboratory
for the identification of urban problems and for the exploration
of design solutions.
• Each semester is comprised of a design studio and
a seminar in parallel, studying both the real and ideal
solutions for three aspects of town planning: new town design,
housing and the redesign of existing situations.
• The School of Architecture faculty teaches the
curriculum with field condition input from visiting faculty
and other experts such as developers, marketing experts
and bankers.
Master in Real Estate Development and Urbanism
• A one-year interdisciplinary program that will
blend the fundamentals of real estate development with the
School of Architecture's strengths in the New Urbanism,
community design and civic engagement.
Master of Architecture: Research
• This program allows students to specialize in a
specific area of study within the context of the discipline.
• Each student must complete 36 credits, normally
over three semesters. A specific program of study, reflecting
the proposed professional objectives, is established for
each student. In addition, a six-credit thesis is required.
• An advisory committee of the faculty of the school
supervises the progress of the students. The program is
based on studio work combined with cross-disciplinary and
specialized studies.
• The program culminates in a comprehensive project
tailored to meet the needs of the individual student.
