The degree awarded is the Master of Architecture. No other degree is awarded, although any student dropping out of the Program with sufficient credits may apply for undergraduate standing and candidacy for the Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies degree, which is a non-professional degree. Students in the program are intermixed with all other students in courses and sections, except for the combined beginning design course sections created especially for the Program. Applicants for Track 3 entry are not required to submit a portfolio. If, however, the applicant s background makes the compilation of a portfolio representative of creative talents possible, it may support the application.
Costs are per semester.
Teaching assistantships are available in design, history, practice, and structures. Research assistantships are tied to specific faculty research projects. Students who are interested in receiving financial aid in the form of assistantships must indicate their interest on the application for admission. Academically eligible applicants are sent a separate application form for assistantships. Some fellowships are specific to certain program options, while others are available to all students regardless of their selected option of study.
