Master of Architecture
University of Michigan's Taubman College graduate program in architecture is open to students who have already earned undergraduate degrees in architecture (2G Option) as well as those who received undergraduate degrees from other disciplines (3G Option).
2G Option
The 2G Option consists of graduate level coursework in architecture and related fields for those applicants with a bachelor of science degree in architecture or its equivalent. The program takes a more critical view of theory, design and production. While a curriculum of professional coursework forms the basis for the two year program, the college recognizes the perspectives gained from cross-department collaborations and encourages students to utilize the resources available here at a top-ranked research institution.
3G Option
The 3G Option is for students who have received an undergraduate degree in a discipline other than architecture. Admission is usually limited to the summer half-term. This 3+ year program draws upon the diverse backgrounds of the students to encourage a multi-faceted discussion of architecture. The first year builds a foundation that drives the following years. 3G students join their peers in the 2G track for the second and third year. During the final year, 2Gs and 3Gs research a thesis topic which culminates in a design project. This design project serves as the final studio.
Both options culminate in a master of architecture (M.Arch.) degree.
