What you will learn
This Master of Architecture First-Professional MArch program offered at University of Southern California fully prepares graduates for the present and future professional activities in the ever-evolving field of architecture. As an accredited professional degree, it provides a solid intellectual base of knowledge in history, technology, professional practice and theory.
