MArchitecture/MBA Dual Degree Program
The establishment of a successful architectural office requires a wide range of skills. In addition to competence in traditional architectural roles, the growing complexity of the field demands certain managerial, administrative skills. As a practice expands, its range of services may grow to include, for example, real estate development and construction supervision of large scale projects. The MArch/MBA Dual Degree Program provides the combination of architectural, managerial, and administrative skills which prepares students for careers in both fields. It integrates and accelerates the educational process and enables students to pursue careers in public service administration as well.
Students interested in the program must apply to and be accepted by both the Department of Architecture and the School of Management.
For additional information about the architectural component, applicants should contact:
