The STEM designated, 3-year Master of Architecture (M.Arch) graduate program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln is nationally accredited by the National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB). After completing the 92 credit hour program (plus 0-17 credits of potential prerequisite coursework), students will be able to work towards becoming a licensed architect. The Architecture Program at UNL is known for combining technological, disciplinary and computational innovation with a focus on the everyday demands on the profession. Our students deploy advanced design experimentation in the service of the community and play a vital role in the international discussion on infrastructure, urban economic, sustainability, the health of communities, and the future of our cities and towns.
Please note that the professional degree program is only available to those applicants who do not already hold a professional degree in architecture and who do not have their undergraduate degree in architecture. Applicants may hold a bachelor’s degree in any other field. If you hold a professional degree in architecture, your application will not be considered for this program.
