MA/MS in Architectural Sciences and Technology

Research sits at the center of this post-professional graduate degree. Every student pairs with a faculty advisor and develops an individual project under the umbrella theme Technologies of Architecture and Urbanism. The inquiry can lean technical, can be applied and include design work, or can concentrate on history and theory. Specific subjects depend on what the faculty know best, and students settle on a direction when they join one of the available concentrations. Candidates may also look to courses in other departments, to relationships with Chicago architecture and engineering practices, and to the archives held in the city. The degree is taught on campus within the School of Architecture, and new cohorts begin in the fall term only, so applicants should plan their timeline around that single intake.
