Master of Science in Architecture (MS Architecture)
The Master of Science degree, first offered in 1984, is intended for individuals with an undergraduate professional degree in architecture who wish to pursue a self-directed program of study at the advanced level. It enables students to gain a greater understanding of the relationship between the discipline and the profession. A total of ten approved courses are required, including one course in Advanced Theory and an individually directed selection of electives from the Master of Architecture program. This degree is normally completed in one calendar year. Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree in architecture.
Applicants for the M.S. must submit a portfolio of their work and a sample of their writing (in English) along with the standard application materials.
