About the course

The Master of Science in Architecture is a post-professional degree for those who have already earned a Bachelor of Architecture or a Master of Architecture professional degree. Offering the post-professional M.S. in Architecture provides an opportunity for prospective students to enhance professional skills and gain additional knowledge. While the professional degree programs in architecture focus on the design, technological, and professional skills needed to practice architecture, the profession of architecture touches all areas and scales of the built environment. Architectural practices can specialize in such areas as education, healthcare, housing or residential design, preservation, tall buildings and infrastructure, and urban design, to name a few. Opportunities for practice also require different skill sets and advanced knowledge in business, design-build, or digital technologies. In addition to a general studies in architectural design track, the Architecture M.S. degree program offers three concentrations: The concentration in Advanced Technologies and Design broadens students’ knowledge of digital and material technologies. The concentration in Health and Design expands students’ knowledge of healthcare design. The concentration in Urban Ecologies and Design widens students’ knowledge of design, sustainability, and urban ecology. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
