Second Career Options The School of Architecture provides two options for those who already have degrees in other fields to enter the graduate programs offered by both landscape architecture and architecture. The Master of Architecture Degree Option
The professional Master of Architecture degree program offers two distinct paths toward completion. One path (referred to as Path A) is designed for graduates who have earned a four- year non-architecture bachelor's degree. It constitutes a three-and-a half-year term of study and leads to a professional Master of Architecture degree. This course of study is meant to serve not only the recent graduate but also to provide an educational opportunity for those desiring a career change. Thus, the general profile of the Path A candidate is someone who has had a successful undergraduate career, has a strong desire to become an architect, and is willing to commit the time and energy necessary to be successful in this rigorous program. The Path A students enrich the graduate program, as they bring to their studies a wide range of experiences and expertise from outside the discipline. This broader perspective will surface in their studio efforts, class work, and theses. Typically thesis investigations express how architecture can be influenced by discourse engaging other disciplines and facilitate the intellectual diversity that has been a defining characteristic of the School of Architecture since its inception.
The Master of Landscape Architecture Degree Option
The professional Master of Landscape Architecture degree program offers two distinct paths toward completion. One path is designed for graduates who have earned a four-year design bachelor's degree. It constitutes a three-year term of study and leads to a professional Master of Landscape Architecture degree. This course of study is meant to serve not only the recent graduate but also to provide an educational opportunity for those desiring a career change. Thus, the general profile of this candidate is someone who has had a successful undergraduate career, has a strong desire for a career change, and is willing to commit the time and energy necessary to be successful in this rigorous program. These students enrich the graduate program, as they bring to their studies a wide range of experiences and expertise from outside the discipline. This broader perspective enriches their studio efforts, class work, and theses. Typically thesis investigations express how landscape architecture can be influenced by discourse engaging other disciplines and facilitate the intellectual diversity that has been a defining characteristic of the School of Architecture since its inception.
