Master of Architecture/Master
of Fine Arts
The Department of Architecture and the Department of Media Study at the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, present a dual degree program leading to a master of architecture and a master of fine arts. The dual degree addresses a rapidly expanding desire on the part of students and a critical need on the part of the architecture profession for expertise in both architecture and digital media.
Digital media has transformed the traditional means of project production and delivery and most importantly has opened entirely new territories in the field of architecture. This dual degree will concentrate on new domains that confront architects, including the design and construction of interactive environments and objects, virtual worlds, media-based pedagogic tools, computer models and analyses, and computer-controlled manufacturing processes. It is our mission to educate the next generation of designers capable of engaging architecture, digital technologies, and media arts and leading the profession into the future.
This program combines the 2-year accredited M.Arch. and the M.F.A. for a total of 94 credit hours or the 3.5-year accredited M.Arch. and the M.F.A. for a total of 145 credit hours.
