For students desiring a career of leadership in society and practice, the University offers the M. Arch. Professional degree program. This degree offers the academic credentials for professional licensing and admission to the field of architecture. This program of academic course work combines graduate studies in architectural design and theory, including the master class, and selective research with professional practice, advanced liberal education courses and interdisciplinary studies. A wide range of architectural elective courses are offered. An outstanding faculty, including visiting professors in master class studios, offer a rich variety of courses.
Lawrence Tech’s College of Architecture and Design is a member of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture. The M.Arch. degree is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB).
“In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three types of degree; the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted a 6-year, 3-year, or 2-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards. Master’s degree programs may consist of a preprofessional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree that, when earned sequentially, constitute an accredited professional education. However, the preprofessional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.”

The M. Arch student has the opportunity to specialize in an area of professional interest by selecting an area of concentration.
Architecture Design and Practice
Critical Studies in Architecture
Urban Design
Sustainable Architecture
The M. Arch. Professional degree program is open to highly qualified graduates of college/university architectural programs who meet all admission requirements. Students who work while earning the M. Arch. Degree should plan to distribute course work over two to four years.
