With two options, our graduate degree is for those committed to developing?with faculty and fellow students?the attitudes, skill, and methods needed to work as an architect in support of a sustainable built environment of the highest quality.

We see the built field?and architecture as part of it?as an embodiment of culture in all its diversity and complexity. It is in constant flux while adhering to an underlying coherence. The built field consists of both ordinary and special buildings. Spaces found in built fields span time and space from dense urban agglomerations to the most rural settlements.

The evolution of the built field?depending on both convention and invention for its sustenance?is guided by professionals from a wide range of disciplines, including architects, engineers, planners, as well as public officials, corporate leaders, product manufacturers, and everyday users.

In light of these realities, and because we expect our graduates to engage in diverse forms of local and global practice during their careers, we challenge students with knowledge both new and old. We stress how to learn and how to design, incorporating the methods that constitute the profession?s shared body of knowledge.
