(Interim) Department Head: Wei Yan, PhD
The Department of Architecture offers certificates in Health Systems and Design and Historic Preservation. Certificates in Environmental Hazard Management and Sustainable Urbanism are offered by the other two departments. These areas of specialization are supported by qualified faculty, research centers and laboratories. Other areas of exploration in which graduate students are engaged include design, architectural computing, history and theory, energy and sustainability, housing, health and interior architecture.
In addition, the Department of Architecture offers a combined degree program between the Master of Science (MS) and Master of Architecture (MArch), as well as two combined degree programs in conjunction with the graduate program in Land and Property Development and Urban Planning that enables students to graduate with a Master of Architecture and Master of Land and Property Development or Master of Architecture and Master of Urban Planning upon completion of the combined core curriculum.
In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. NAAB, which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted a 6-year, 3-year, or 2-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.
Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may consist of a pre-professional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree that, when earned sequentially, constitute an accredited professional education. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.
Texas A&M University, Department of Architecture offers the following NAAB-accredited degree program:
MArch (pre-professional degree + 55 graduate credits)
Next accreditation visit for all programs: 2031
Because of the important role of computing in the disciplines housed within the College of Architecture, all entering students are required to possess a portable, network-ready personal computer capable of running software appropriate to their academic program. Financial aid is available to assist students in their computer purchases. No student will be denied admission to Texas A&M University based on the inability to purchase a computer. Additional information is available on the College of Architecture website.
