About the course

Accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), the Master of Architecture (M. Arch.) is the professional degree required by most state registration boards as a condition of licensure for architectural practice. The M. Arch. II is a two-year, 60-credit hour degree track for students with a pre-professional Bachelor?s degree (BA or BS) in Architecture and strong portfolios documenting 6 to 8 semesters of design studio work. The M. Arch. II track is an advanced placement track and a BA or BS in a pre-professional architecture program is a minimum requirement. A competitive portfolio is also required. In the context of applicant pool, advanced placement is determined by the Admissions Committee during the application and portfolio review process.

How to apply

Entry requirements for Clemson University

Admission to our Master's degree programs is determined by an Admissions Committee of graduate architecture faculty. Admission is very competitive and based on an evaluation of the candidate's potential to respond successfully to the rigors and creative challenge of graduate study in architecture. Based on prior architecture education, there are two degree tracks from which to choose, M.Arch I which is a three year program and M.Arch II which is a two year program. Those admitted to the M. Arch. II program will have a strong portfolio documenting the 6 to 8 semesters of design studio coursework typical of a BA or BS in Architecture. Those without 6 to 8 semesters of strong architectural design studio work should consider applying to, and may be offered admission to, the M. Arch. I track. (See the section below on Degree Track Selection and Prior Coursework for further information about advanced placement.)

　　The IELTS examination is accepted, however, 97% of applicants submit TOEFL scores and we convert IELTS to TOEFL scores for comparison. The School of Architecture therefore, does not recommend the IELTS test. The reason for this is that an IELTS score of 6.5 can be converted to a TOEFL score of 79 to 93. However, a score of 79 is not acceptable for admission, while a score of 93 is acceptable. Therefore, unless your IELTS score is above 7.0, your language abilities will not be considered acceptable
