Master of Architecture 4+3

The Master of Architecture (M.Arch) program offers two entry points, one for students with a baccalaureate degree in any field and the other for students who have already obtained a pre-professional architecture or architectural studies undergraduate degree.

The 4+3 program begins with a rigorous, 4-quarter, first-year sequence in foundational curriculum: design methodology and skills, architectural history, structures, and materials and methods. The focus of the second year is on systems, structure, and materiality. The third year is centered on the thesis or graduation project, with related research courses and selected upper-level lecture classes.
