Overview

If you studied architecture at the undergraduate level and received a Bachelor of Science in Architecture, you may qualify for the four-semester Path A Advanced Standing Track. If you studied in another discipline at the undergraduate level the seven-semester Path B track is the right course of study for you. If you studied architecture at the undergraduate level, but did not receive a Bachelor of Science in Architecture, we will work to evaluate your prior education and to determine limited advanced standing based on your transcripts and verified coursework.

The Architecture Program from University of Maryland offers two professional tracks toward the NAAB accredited Master of Architecture degree.

PATH A - Advanced Standing Professional Degree Program

The “Path A” program is an advanced standing track designed for individuals who possess an undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Architecture degree. This program links seamlessly with the University of Maryland’s BS in Architecture degree and similar degrees offered at other institutions. This is a four-semester degree program leading to the NAAB accredited M ARCH degree.

PATH B - Professional Degree Program for Individuals with Baccalaureates in Disciplines Other than Architecture

This program is designed specifically for individuals who have earned a baccalaureate degree in an area other than architecture. This seven-semester program provides introduction to the fundamentals of architectural design and representation, technologies, history and theory, as well as professional practice. The program provides an efficient track toward the NAAB accredited M ARCH degree.
