Program Description
CAPLA's Master of Architecture is an NAAB-accredited, professional STEM degree devoted to the education of tomorrow's leading architects.
The M.Arch offers pathways that vary depending on your background. Students with undergraduate studio-based architecture degrees can complete the program in two years, while others can complete the program in three years, including an immersive summer session. The University of Arizona M.Arch combines place-based design honed in the extreme climate and exquisite landscape of the Sonoran desert with cutting edge material and environmental research, all delivered through hands-on learning. As an M.Arch student, you will acquire a portable design sensibility, empowering you to develop critical modes of practice, regardless of where or how you practice.
In the M.Arch, you'll learn:
- How to design for climate and place
- Digital and analog techniques for design representation and exploration
- Architectural history and theory
- Passive and active building technologies
- Digital fabrication and other advanced technologies
- How design should respond to materials, fabrication and construction
- The impact of sociocultural factors on design
- How to present your work visually, verbally and materially
- How to collaborate
- Professional practices and ethics
- Design for all
