Dual Degrees

An applicant interested in receiving a dual degree in architecture and urban design (M.Arch./M.U.D.) must complete two separate applications: one for the Master of Architecture Program and one for the Master of Urban Design Degree. An application fee is required for both programs. Each program will make an admission decision independently of the other. Only if both programs approve admission is the applicant considered a dual degree student.

To be eligible for admission, a student must have a B.S. degree from Taubman College or an equivalent degree earned at another institution. Graduate students enrolled in the 3 year M.Arch. degree must complete all required 300 and 400 level course work before applying to the dual M.Arch./M.U.D. Program. The recommended procedure is to apply to the M.Arch program first and, during the first year at Taubman College, apply to the Master of Urban Design program for dual degree status. In years two and three, students would take courses in both urban design and architecture, leading to masters degrees in both programs.

The MArch/MS-DMT Dual Degree combines the two-year/60 credit hour (4 terms) MArch professional degree with the three semester /36 credit hour (3 terms) MS-DMT post-professional degree. The resulting 6-term/81 credit hour program of study, includes up to 16 double counted credit hours. Graduates with the dual degree are highly qualified professionals who pursue careers in academia, at a wide range of private and public agencies and in non-profit organizations.

Students must file separate applications to and be admitted by both programs. An application fee must accompany each application. Each program will apply its own standards in making admission decisions. Applicants may apply to both the MArch and MS programs simultaneously, or they may apply first to the MArch program and then, if admitted, apply to the MS program during their first year of MArch graduate study.

To be eligible for admission, a student must have a B.S. degree from Taubman College or an equivalent earned at another institution. Graduate students enrolled in the 3 year M.Arch. degree must complete all required 300 and 400 level course work before applying to the joint M.Arch./M.B.A. program.

Although the joint degree program is not available to students who have previously earned the M.Arch. or the M.B.A. degree, a student enrolled in the first year of either program may apply. The recommended procedure is to file an application to each program for the same term. An application fee is required for both programs. Each program makes an admission decision independently of the other. Only if both programs approve admission is the applicant considered a joint degree student. If admission to each program is granted for the same term, one unit must apply its deferred admission procedures, depending upon which program the student chooses for the first year of study.

The GMAT is required for admission to the Business School. Admission is for the fall term. A special notation, indicating the joint program, should be made on the front of the M.B.A. application.
