Our Master of Architecture program is a launching pad for those seeking leadership roles in architecture, design, development, and construction, and is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board, forging a direct pathway to licensure. Students holding a pre-professional degree in architecture may qualify for our two-year program of study, while students without a background in architecture typically finish in three years.
Our studio-based curriculum emphasizes ethical design practice and is led by prominent architects who work with students to develop the skills they need to address pressing architectural and urban problems. Each studio offers a distinctive learning environment in which students sharpen their capacity to think critically, experiment speculatively, and make architecture ambitiously.
The city of Chicago offers a ready-made urban laboratory for all of our efforts. Moreover, our location in a global city allows us to bring together and work with expert designers, engineers, technologists, and theorists.
This program is open beginning in the fall semester only.
Our M.ARCH. program stresses research, analysis, and synthesis as preparation for an expanding disciplinary field in which resourcefulness and daring are rewarded. We are committed to helping our graduates become exceptional design leaders as well as ethical global citizens.
Our mission is to teach design excellence and technical expertise, and to foster an understanding of the role of the architect in society as an ethical, insightful, and informed leader. We believe that society sustains and enriches itself through thoughtful planning and careful work, and we regard the architect as the central figure who is best able to synthesize the natural and man-made in the creation of a more humane built environment.
The curriculum addresses principles of design concepts, materials, construction, systems, planning, professional practice, history, and visual judgment, which are fundamental for the development of the creative process. The curriculum is progressive with required core coursework offering foundation knowledge, skills, and vocabulary, while upper-level study seeks a broader understanding of architecture by combining theoretical exploration with practical considerations.
