The 36-credit, three-semester (summer, fall, spring ? Brooklyn campus only) post-professional program begins with an intensive summer semester concentrating in design methodology, architectural media, and materially-based theory. The second semester design studio allows students to select an area of design expertise (visualization or fabrication) and is complemented by seminars that enrich a disciplinary understanding of the pertinent subjects. The ?Culminating Project? is the capstone of the program where (in the third semester) students galvanize the work from earlier semesters within the GAUD Directed Research framework.
