Overview

The Master in Architecture - Four Studio Track programme from University of Colorado Denver offers two tracks for completing your Master of Architecture (M.Arch) degree based on your experience level. If you have a bachelor's degree that is not in architecture or a related bachelor's degree, you should plan on at least three years to earn your M.Arch degree. If you have a pre-professional bachelor's degree in architecture or a related design field, you may receive advanced standing credit for your previous coursework and can expect to complete your M.Arch degree in about two years. You can learn more about the curriculum for each track below.
