Architecture Degrees
The Bachelor of Science in Architecture (B.S. Arch) is centered on an innovative, modular curriculum that leverages our faculty’s intellectual diversity and affords the independence and flexibility to explore your interests. Taubman graduates make a difference from day one whether they begin careers in architecture firms or related design fields, use their degree as a springboard for other creative work, or further studies for architectural licensure or other areas of interest.
The Master of Architecture (M.Arch) is an accredited studio-intensive degree designed for those interested in how we live in the built environment and what design can achieve. The program includes coursework in design, history and theory, representation, digital fabrication, computation, technology, and sustainability, culminating in a research-based thesis design project.
The Master of Science: Digital and Material Technologies (M.S.D.M.T.) is an intensive three-semester, post-professional degree with a concentration in Digital and Material Technologies. The program emphasizes cutting-edge research in advanced fabrication techniques, digital design, and material systems to prepare you to pursue research and entrepreneurial practices, a career in the academy, or expand your architectural practice.
The Master of Urban Design (M.U.D.) is a three-semester post-professional degree focused on exploring diverse urban design theories and experimentation. You will learn how to conceptualize and share the complex global processes of urban transformation. The program is open to those with professional degrees in architecture, landscape architecture, and urban and regional planning.
Established in 1969, our Ph.D. in Architecture program was among the first in the U.S. Students investigate architecture and the built environment in original research projects and yield new insights into the past, present, and future of architecture and building practices.
Our Architecture program offers a dynamic, pluralistic, and inclusive learning environment where students are encouraged to explore, question, and imagine new ways of thinking about architecture. Driven by intellectual curiosity and the open exchange of ideas, we believe in the transformative power of design, critical thinking, and collaboration to address the complex challenges of our time. We cultivate architectural experimentation aimed at creating a more equitable built environment, supported by a vibrant network of faculty and alumni whose work spans practice, research, and entrepreneurship.
The studio experience is central to a Taubman College architecture education. With one of the largest continuous academic studios in the world, it is a fully engaged, communal learning environment where you’ll collaborate with faculty and peers and push yourself to expand intellectual and creative capacities that you might not even know you have.
We constantly evaluate and challenge how the studio experience instills a spirit of inquiry, implementing new technologies and methods to empower students and foster experimentation.
Dual Degrees and Graduate Certificates
Dual degree options enable you to earn two degrees simultaneously, and you may count some of your credits toward graduate certificates.

Publications
Dimensions is the student-produced journal of architecture at the University of Michigan published annually since 1987.
It seeks to contribute to the critical discourse of architectural education by documenting the most compelling work produced by its students, faculty, fellows, and visiting lecturers.
Gradient is an online platform for current conversations in architecture and urbanism at Taubman College and beyond. The journal highlights the wide variety of expertise and methods and diverse ways of designing and theorizing the built environment’s role in the world. Project Papers further spotlight the intellectual diversity of our internationally recognized faculty.
