MBA/MArch Program

Candidates for the MBA and Master of Architecture dual degree program 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.

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.
