Architecture, M.Arch.

Architects give personality to buildings, shaping the purpose and character of whole communities with their stunning designs. As a SCAD architecture student, you'll learn the environmental, social, and sustainability issues that affect how structures are mapped out. You'll apply historical, cultural, topographical, theoretical, and aesthetic factors to concept skyscrapers, museums, mixed-use developments, and more on real-world sites. Using top-of-the-line and emerging resources like augmented and virtual reality, you'll develop the technical expertise — and the portfolio — necessary to raise buildings that add beauty and color to the world. SCAD offers the Integrated Path to Architectural Licensure in partnership with the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards. This progressive academic track provides accepted students the professional advantage of combining work experience with coursework and examinations, and prepares students for professional architectural licensure in as few as seven years. SCAD's architecture program empowers students to explore related creative disciplines, such as architectural history, urban design, historic preservation, interior design, and furniture design. Through a dual major or minor, you can develop a unique, design-oriented perspective that shapes a broader artistic understanding.
