Overview

About the programme

Carnegie Mellon University's Architecture program’s strategically small size allows students to shape their individual educational agendas and career paths as they interact directly with leading-edge research projects in the school and community, and around the world.

This is a two-year program designed for individuals who hold a pre-professional baccalaureate degree in architecture or a professional architecture degree from an international university, or the equivalent in professional experience.

The curriculum aims to provide flexibility and individualized courses of study for students with different backgrounds and ambitions, while developing disciplinary skills and critical thinking. A careful evaluation of previous coursework and professional experience for each student determines the minimum course requirements for each student to achieve professional standards (including NAAB criteria) by graduation.
