Master of Architecture: 3 year program
The Three-Plus Year Master of Architecture program culminates in a National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) accredited professional degree for students with an undergraduate degree in a field other than architecture. It is assumed that the student's undergraduate education will have provided the intellectual training necessary to undertake a rigorous, accelerated graduate curriculum. The focus of the Three-Plus curriculum is the development of the student's critical, technical, and inventive ability in an architectural discourse.

Notes:
1) For G3, One theory distribution course is required (a Arch 603 course); this course counts as the second Arch 803 as listed in previous course listings. This ditribution can be taken at any point in the G3 year.
2) For G3, One technology distribution course is required (a Arch 700 course); this course counts as Arch 630 as listed in previous course listings for those who don't have that credit. This distribution can be taken at any point in the G3 year.
