The first two years of the curriculum consist of a core sequence of architectural design studios with appropriate ancillary courses. The last year and one-half is an accelerated version of the 2-year M.Arch. track. A total of 112 credit hours are required in the 3½-year M.Arch. track.

Required building technology courses in the Department of Architecture's 3½-year M.Arch. track rely upon prior knowledge of physics and calculus. Physics and calculus are prerequisites for the structures and construction courses in architecture. Students may fulfill these prerequisites with successful completion of Advanced Placement high school calculus and physics, successful completion of college calculus and college physics, or successful completion of the College-Level Examination Program® in Calculus/Elementary Functions and Natural Sciences. The physics and calculus prerequisites must be completed prior to enrollment in the 3 ½ year M.Arch. track.
