Program Information
The School of Architecture offers both professional and post-professional graduate programs. The Professional Master of Architecture degree has two tracks, one for students with pre-professional degrees in architecture and one for students with degrees outside of architecture. Candidates with a pre-professional architecture degree typically pursue the two-academic-year track of concentrated study. Students with degrees in other disciplines follow a program of three calendar years' duration.

The post-professional Master of Architecture in Suburb and Town Design program has attracted international recognition for its efforts to develop guiding principles for the building of communities. The one calendar year curriculum includes special opportunities to work directly with municipalities, civic and neighborhood groups, and other governmental agencies and prepares students to be effective designers and advocates for both private and public development and public sector redevelopment enterprises.

The Master of Architecture Research includes a concentration in computing and design. Working closely with faculty mentors, students focus their studies in relation to career objectives. Faculty members in the School are widely known for their work in design, practice, and design research in a number of areas including affordable housing, technology, computer imaging, theory, urban history, and historic preservation. Upon admission, each student crafts a specialized program of study with a faculty adviser.
