Graduate Programs
The graduate programs at the David R. Ravin School of Architecture (SoA) excel in their commitments to innovative design, advanced research, community engagement. Its faculty are leaders in the discipline, and its excellent resources integrate studio spaces, fabrication labs, classrooms, exhibition spaces, and flex spaces. Together, its people and places allow members of the SoA community to work and interact with each other in substantive ways, and to host events (big and small) that further its missions.
The SoA has stand-alone distinct programs, all of which may be pursued individually or may be combined with each other for dual degrees that offer more efficient pathways to earning two graduate degrees:
- The Master of Architecture Program is a NAAB-accredited professional Degree that prepares students for professional practice and other career paths in architecture.
- The Master of Urban Design Program is a post-professional degree that prepares students to become civic professionals in charge of engaging the complexities facing towns and cities across America today.
- The Master of Science in Architecture is a post-professional degree that immerses students in emerging research within a range of concentrations critical to the future of the architectural profession: Critical Heritage, Computation, and Sustainable Building Technologies.
The post-professional degrees at the SoA infuse its accredited professional degree with cutting edge research and coursework on themes and methods that are shaping the broad transformation of the discipline today, include the fate of the American city, the meaning and value of community engagement, innovations in computational design, sustainable building practices, and emerging material practices.
The Master of Architecture (M.Arch) professional degree at the SoA maintains its accredited status through the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which reviews and evaluates our curriculum, facilities, faculty, and program resources. All three tracks of the program (the 3-year M.Arch I track, the 2-year M.Arch. II track, and the 12-month Advanced Standing track) are fully accredited by NAAB, and the ARE (licensure registration exam) pass rates may be reviewed here.
