Master of Architecture Curriculum
Master of Architecture Curriculum
Within the Master of Architecture program, you will combine hands-on design practice with the study of studio design, design media, and other elements. This immersive experience nurtures your growth and mentorship as a practicing professional. Through studio experiences, you will produce work that addresses social and spatial conditions, design meaningful buildings, and shape your unique architectural identity.
This interplay of education and practice provides you with a solid preparation for a career in design, a professional network, and the opportunity to meet the Architectural Experience Program (AXP) required to sit for licensure.
