About the course

The Master of Science in Architecture (MS in Arch.) degree is most appropriate for students who have already completed a B. Arch. or M. Arch. professional degree, or related design degree, and wish to pursue a defined research agenda. The MS program is focused on research and is sometimes preparation for doctoral studies. Unlike the M. Arch., it is not a professionally-oriented or professionally-accredited degree. The MS in Architecture is an intense, research-oriented course of study that requires significant student motivation and self-direction, research, and writing ability. The MS in Architecture is excellent preparation for the interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Planning, Design, and the Built Environment (PDBE), and may be well suited to US and international students seeking a research qualification to initiate an academic career, as well as others interested in pursuing a focused and individually determined plan of study and research.

How to apply

Entry requirements for Clemson University

Since MS students work ly with a major advisor, the applicant must identify a potential advisor and discuss a research focus and possible plan of study with a faculty member in advance of their application.

　　Faculty members are limited in the number of MS students whom they can advise, so admission is limited and competitive. Apart from determining a major advisor for their research, admission is based on an applicant's previous academic credentials, GRE scores, TOEFL scores (for international students), a design portfolio, and a clear and concise research agenda describing the applicant's purpose and intent.

　　A satisfactory score (80 or higher) is required of international students whose native language is not English. Clemson’s institution code is 5111. TOEFL scores are valid for two years.

　　Can be taken in lieu of TOEFL. A satisfactory score (6.5 or higher) is required of international students whose native language is not English. IELTS scores are valid for two years.
