Architectural Studies

Description

• Path A (4 year B.Sc.Arch.Stud. + 2 year M.Arch.) is comprised of a four year Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies and a two year professional Master of Architecture degree. This is the typical path for high school graduates and university transfers wanting a design based liberal arts education leading into a professional education in architecture. The core professional years of study are the last 3.5 years of this 6 year program. Professional studies begin in the spring of the third year. Students graduating with a B.Sc.Arch.Stud. from SDSU will apply for admission into the graduate M.Arch. degree.

• Path B (3.5 year M.Arch.) People who already have a B.A. or B.Sc. degree of any specialization from an accredited university can apply for admission (based primarily on undergraduate academic achievement and a portfolio that demonstrates an educated ability to make things) into the first semester of the 3.5 years of professional studies and matriculate through these years to a Master of Architecture degree. Students provisionally admitted with insufficient graphic capacity may be required to take fundamental drawing and / or design courses the Fall semester before beginning professional study

Accreditation

The Master of Architecture program is intended for students wishing to become licensed architects and is in Candidacy status for professional accreditation with the National Architectural Accrediting Board.

In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted a 6-year, 3-year, or 2-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.
