Academic Eligibility:
- A cumulative undergraduate GPA of at least 2.75 out of 4.00
- Applications are considered from any student with an accredited Bachelor’s degree, regardless of their major.
- Applicants for graduate study must have earned at least a 4-year U.S. equivalent Baccalaureate degree. The Graduate School accepts unofficial transcripts at the time of application and does not require third-party credential evaluations.
- Applicants admitted to Miami University must have an official final transcript from the Baccalaureate institution and all courses attended after. Records issued in a language other than English must be accompanied by a literal (not interpretive) certified English translation.
- All M. Arch applicants are encouraged to include non-architectural work within their portfolio. For applicants to the M. Arch. III program, the portfolio can include examples from architectural projects, if applicable. The portfolio should include work that demonstrates creative accomplishments.
Indian Eligibility:
Indian students are eligible to apply if they meet the following eligibility criteria:
- A student is generally required to submit GMAT or GRE scores before the application deadline.
- Along with the minimum eligibility criteria, international students hailing from non-English speaking countries must submit proof of English proficiency. Students may provide score reports of TOEFL/IELTS/… or any equivalent test with at least a minimum score as per program guidelines to prove English proficiency.
- In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Miami is accepting the Duolingo English Test for the 2021-2022 application cycle as an alternative to the TOEFL, IELTS, or PTE test. Miami’s Duolingo English Test scores must include the subscores. If students took the test prior to July 15, 2019, they will need to retake the test.
Note: Due to many GRE testing facilities being closed due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Graduate Committee has waived this requirement for students applying to the Master of Architecture program for those applying for the 2022-23 academic year. However, if students have already taken the exam they may still submit their scores.
