Students interested in participating in the joint M.Arch./MS in AS degree program must complete a minimum of 82 credit hours of graduate work. 

The total credit hours required for obtaining the two degrees separately is 94 hours.  The Graduate College guidelines on joint degree programs allow for sharing of a maximum of 12 hours in a joint degree program.  Therefore, the proposed joint degree program requires a total graduate credit hours of 82 credits.  Twelve credit hours of Arch-57X (design studios) will be considered as the hours counting toward both degrees.  Minimum GPA required is 2.75.

Students with no undergraduate degrees in architecture and participating in the M.Arch. 2+ degree program may petition to enter the joint M.Arch./MS in AS degree program upon completion of their required undergraduate courses.

The MS in AS degree is not a NAAB accredited program. The M.Arch. degree is a professional degree accredited by the National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB) and has the STEM designation.
