UB’s 3-year MArch program is designed as a path of entry into the architecture profession for students without a qualifying undergraduate background in the field. A bachelor’s degree or higher from a regionally accredited four-year US college or university, or an equivalent credential from a qualifying international institution with, is all that is required. There are no architectural or studio coursework prerequisites. Students enter our program with degrees in the liberal arts, natural sciences, arts, urban planning and the social sciences. Others are early professionals seeking a career change. The 3-year Master of Architecture program is NAAB-accredited and provides you with a professional degree.
The camaraderie and sense of community among our 3-year students supports a collaborative and highly interactive studio culture. All students begin the 3-year MArch in the fall semester to support this defining culture of our program.
