MA/MS in Architectural Sciences and Technology

The Master of Science in Architecture at Georgia Tech is a non-professional degree, meaning it does not by itself serve as the accredited route to practice. It requires at least thirty semester hours of advanced coursework and is aimed at students who want to deepen practice, pursue scholarship, or conduct research. Because the degree is research-oriented, it fits graduates who already hold a design background and wish to specialize, as well as those considering later doctoral work. The School of Architecture houses the program, and students shape their studies around a chosen area of inquiry. Anyone weighing this option should compare it with the professional architecture degree, since the two serve different purposes. The catalog lists the full requirements and the courses available.
