• The M.Arch is a STEM-designated professional practice program of architecture that leads to licensure in architecture and is fully accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB).
  • This degree option provides flexibility for students who have an undergraduate degree with a major in architecture as well as those who have a degree in a field other than architecture.
  • The M.Arch Program requires a minimum of 60 credit hours and a maximum of 102 credit hours of study, depending upon the applicant's prior education in architecture and the amount of advanced standing credit granted upon admission to the program.
  • Normally, a student admitted to the program in Georgia Institute of Technology with maximum advanced standing can expect to complete the program within two academic years of full-time study.
  • A student admitted to the program with no advanced standing can expect the program to require three and one-half academic years of full-time study.
  • Graduates from four-year undergraduate programs in architecture similar to that at Georgia Tech can normally expect to complete the program in two academic years, provided they have pursued architecturally related elective coursework during their undergraduate years.
  • Specific information regarding applications for advanced standing and degree requirements is available from the School of Architecture.
