Master of Architecture

Our influential program was designed to meet the unique needs of ambitious working adults who wish to pursue licensure. Our program is one of only four online M.Arch programs accredited by the prestigious National Architecture Accreditation Board (NAAB).

The M.Arch program offers students a learning experience centered on career-resonant design theory enhanced through immersion in the latest technology, grounded in practice that reflects the realities of the field. Graduates are equipped to hit the ground running with advanced design skills that transfer directly to a real-world approach in architecture and other design-driven industries.

If you hold a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from a NAAB accredited institution,

our format will complement your undergraduate education with 47 additional credit hours of advanced architectural coursework.

If you hold an undergraduate degree other than Architecture,

our 3+ year format includes an additional set of architectural courses required to become a licensed Architect. Depending on your academic background, you may be exempt from some classes.
