MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE: PROFESSIONAL DEGREE

The Master of Architecture is designed for college graduates seeking a first professional degree in architecture. It consists of the following two tracks::

•3.5-year Track: A 3.5-year program for students holding undergraduate degrees in non-design fields. Completion of 105 credit hours required.

•Advanced Standing Track: A program for students holding a previous non-professional degree in architecture or a closely related field. Completion of 51-60 credit hours required.

Masters degree programs may consist of a pre-professional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree, which, when earned sequentially, compromise an accredited professional education. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.
