This four-semester program is for strong architectural design students beginning their studies who hold baccalaureate degrees in architecture (a BS in Architecture, typically, or a professional degree from outside of the United States). Students are considered for placement in the MArch 2 curriculum on the basis of design portfolio evaluation and the extent of their undergraduate architectural studies. Placement in this curriculum is highly selective. The MArch 2 program begins with the final comprehensive core studio (ARCH 419) and concludes with the Degree Project. This 75-credit program leads to a professionally accredited Master of Architecture degree. 

Waiver Requirements

Students admitted to the MArch 2 program have the opportunity to waive the following courses:

  • Building Systems (ARCH 445)
  • Structures I (ARCH 447A)
  • Structures II (ARCH 448A)
  • Architectural History I: Antiquity to Baroque (ARCH 4280)
  • Architectural History II: Architecture Since 1880 (ARCH 4284)
  • Environmental Systems I (ARCH 438)
  • Environmental Systems II (ARCH 439)

Six waived units count toward the degree; all other units must be replaced with general electives.

Students will be required to take both Structures I and Structures II during their first semester in the program if they are not waived from at least one of the following courses: Building Systems, Structures I, Architectural History II or Environmental Systems I.
