Graduate Study in Architecture

There are four distinct plans of study, depending on the student's educational background:

1. Professional Master of Architecture degree for students with a bachelor degree in any field, including architecture. Our program has two graduate tracks: Track II is a 2+ year program for students entering with a pre-professional baccalaureate degree in architecture (“4+2” model); Track III is a 3+ year program for those with a baccalaureate degree outside of architecture (students with a 4-year pre-professional degree in architecture may seek advanced placement).
2. Graduate Certificate in Facility Management (KU Edwards Campus) which is a 15-credit certificate program focused on current and specialized developments in the many areas covered by professional facility managers-from space forecasting, facility assessment and project management to environmental health, disaster preparedness and personnel management.

3. Master of Arts (M.A.) in Architecture degree (non-professional) with two tracks: a) a 36-credit academic/research track for students with an undergraduate degree in architecture or a related discipline; and a 36-credit architecture management track for students with an undergraduate degree in architecture or a related discipline and some design industry experience.

4 . Ph.D. in Architecture degree, which is a 49 credit terminal degree involving rigorous coursework, independent research, culminating in a dissertation.
