The Master of Architecture program focuses on the role of architects in society and culture. The School has a strong history of practice-oriented education that has expanded to include depth in issues of sustainability and housing. We offer the following programs: MArch 3 (seven semesters) MArch 2+ (five semesters) MArch 2 (four semesters) MS in Advanced Architectural Design (three semesters) MS in Architectural Studies (30 credits) Fundamental to the graduate curriculum is the architectural design studio sequence. Each semester students select from a range of vertical studio options organized around projects and topics offered by different design instructors. These studios emphasize the development of strong conceptual abilities, thoughtful integration of technical information, and convincing representations of architectural ideas in two- and three-dimensional form, and through a variety of media. The ultimate goal is for each student to develop clear design principles, strong technical resources, and an independent, critical position on the making of architecture in the world. The independent character of a student’s abilities is demonstrated and tested in the final semester through the Degree Project.
