The Program:
The joint MBA/Master of Architecture program combines the skills and experiences of business administration and the field of architecture. Such a degree is especially valuable for a person considering private practice or a management position in an existing firm, or for an architect interested in development work. Although the basic professional requirements of each program are not altered, areas of common interest are effectively integrated. The program offers a masters degree in both business administration and architecture.
Requirements:
Candidates for the joint MBA/Master of Architecture are required to complete the pre-architecture and professional programs in architecture and 20 hours of advanced MBA courses. Twelve hours of the MBA elective requirements may be fulfilled by courses from the Graduate School of Architecture.
The David Eccles School of Business agrees to accept the following courses in architecture to fulfill MBA elective requirements:
- ARCH 6700 & 6702 Architectural Practice and Philosophy (1.5 hours each)
- ARCH 6701 Law for Architects (1.5 hours)
- ARCH 6720 Project Finance and Economics (1.5 hours)
- ARCH 6971 Masters Project (5 hours)
The Graduate School of Architecture agrees to accept up to 15 hours of MBA courses as electives. Both graduate schools allow six consecutive calendar years for completion of their respective graduate degrees.
Highlights:
Students in the joint MBA/Master of Architecture program complete the mandatory Orientation Week and the MBA Core. Adjustments can be made to the program of study when necessary to avoid scheduling conflicts.
Length of Program
The joint MBA/Master of Architecture program takes approximately four years to complete. A minimum of four years and one semester is required. Students will spend their first year in the David Eccles School of Business taking MBA core classes and enter the architecture program during the second year.
