MA/MS in Architecture

Howard's architecture department offers a professional Master of Architecture that takes five years to complete. It replaced the earlier five-year Bachelor of Architecture after the national accrediting board approved the new title in 2017, so students who begin from Fall 2018 enter the master's track directly. The degree adds up to 171 credit hours across three kinds of course: required core subjects, professional electives that let a student build a concentration, and general liberal studies electives that broaden the education. Design teaching at Howard goes back to 1911, and the department presents the program as a continuation of that tradition. The page concentrates on how the degree is structured, so applicants should contact the department for application steps and current entry requirements.
