About the course

The dual degree combines course work from the Architecture and Historic Preservation programs to enable a student to complete both the Master of Architecture and Master of Historic Preservation degrees with fewer credits than it would take to complete the two separately. The University of Maryland?s graduate programs in architecture are recognized nationally for excellence in sustainable building craft and urbanism. The Integrated Design Studio/Advanced Technology Seminar, the first of its kind in the nation, is a model for the integration of design studio pedagogy and technical knowledge. All students in the Master of Architecture Program (independent of their specific track) participate in this award-winning educational experience.

　　The dual degree in historic preservation and architecture draws on the strengths of both programs, preparing students for challenging opportunities related to community revitalization and the adaptive reuse of historic buildings. Path A (for students with an undergraduate architecture degree) is 81 credits, and is approximately 2.5 years in duration, Path B (for students without an undergraduate architecture degree) is 126 credits, over approximately 4.5 years.
