Graduate Programs in Architecture
Explore 200+ Architecture graduate programs at 50+ universities across 10 countries.
Overview
Architecture is the design of buildings and the places around them. Graduate programs mix intensive design studios with building technology, structures, environmental systems, history and theory, and many explore sustainable design and digital fabrication.
A professional master's such as the MArch is a common route to becoming a licensed architect. Post-professional master's and PhD programs focus on research, teaching and specialized practice.
Graduates work as architects, urban designers, building performance consultants, computational designers and project managers. Architecture firms, developers and public agencies are the main employers, and skills in sustainable design, building performance and digital tools are increasingly in demand.
Most Architecture programs charge between $17,000 and $66,000 a year in tuition. The top ten ranked programs charge between $25,000 and $73,000.
