Program Description
The combined Bachelor of Architecture and the MS in Sustainable Design 5+1 Accelerated Dual Degree Program is intended for students who wish to pursue a graduate degree in Sustainable Design while completing the undergraduate, professional program in Architecture. This program enables an undergraduate Architecture major to complete four graduate courses required by the MS in Sustainable Design program, for a maximum of twelve graduate course credits, while completing the undergraduate Bachelor of Architecture degree.
By overlapping the two programs, a student achieves advanced standing in the 33-credit MS in Sustainable Design program while an undergraduate and can complete the sustainable design degree with an additional 21 credits. Upon graduation from the Bachelor of Architecture program, a student may fulfill the requirements for the sustainable design degree in one year of full-time study, comprising fall and spring semesters, for a total reduction of one semester of graduate coursework and tuition.
