About the course

The Master of Architecture program is the professional degree for those seeking to become licensed architects. As described below, there are several pathways into the M. Arch. program depending on background and undergraduate education. Our standard professional program is a 3-year course of study that is aimed at applicants who did not complete a pre-professional degree in architecture including a full complement of studio and technology courses. Commonly applicants for the 3-year pathway have studied fine/studio arts, biology, english, geology, art history, physics, etc. The 3 year program is also appropriate for students who may have studied some architecture but did not complete a pre-professional B.S. major in architecture or its equivalent. For example, the 3-year program is the right program for our own University of Minnesota BDA students. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
