M.Arch. II: Two-Year Program Admission Requirements

Applicants to the M.Arch. II program must hold a five-year bachelor of architecture (B.Arch.) degree, or an equivalent first professional degree. A professional degree is one that allows for the practice of architecture in the country where the degree was attained without additional educational requirements. A bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree with a major in architecture is not considered a first professional degree. Students with international professional degrees should apply to the M.Arch. II program, even if they eventually plan to pursue licensure in the United States. Please check the NCARB website for information on U.S. reciprocity with international professional degrees: https://www.ncarb.org.

Students matriculate only at the beginning of each academic year. All students are expected to attend full-time.

Notifications of admission and of financial aid award, if applicable, are sent no later than April 1. Acceptance of the offer of admission, including a nonrefundable deposit of $750, must be made electronically by April 15. This deposit will be credited toward tuition. Acceptances may not be deferred.

International students should refer to the chapter International Students for information regarding additional admission requirements.
