Architecture
Architectural education at the University of Michigan prepares students to participate actively in the design of buildings, cities, and the physical environment.
Taubman College offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in architecture. The undergraduate program culminates in a Bachelor of Science degree (B.S. Arch), and the graduate program culminates in a Master of Architecture degree (M.Arch). In addition, the program also offers a Ph.D. in Architecture, a Master of Urban Design (M.U.D.), and a Master of Science in Architecture (M.S.D.M.T.).
Undergraduate students may apply directly as first-year students or external transfers / cross-campus transfers entering as junior-level students.
The graduate program is open to students who have already earned undergraduate degrees in architecture (2-year M.Arch) and those who received undergraduate degrees from other disciplines (3-year M.Arch). Dual degrees and graduate certificates are also available.
