The core curriculum of this course of study is ARCH 5325, 5326, 5329, 5331, and 24 hours of advanced studio. Students approved by the Committee on Graduate Studies to substitute a design thesis for the last semester of the required studio sequence must also take ARCH 5363 prior to enrollment in ARCH 5693.
Electives must include at least one course from each of the following categories of courses offered by the school: (a) history and theory (b) technology and practice, and© allied disciplines (landscape architecture, urban design, housing, and interior design).
