M. Arch Degree
Northeastern offers a Master of Architecture degree (M. Arch.) accredited by the National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB website). This single degree, however, can be entered in multiple ways. First, it is offered as a one-year completion to the five-year Northeastern Bachelor of Science (BS) degree (with a major in architecture). Students who complete the five-year degree with a 3.0 minimum overall GPA will be admitted directly to the M.Arch. program, for a one-year, 32 semester hour program.
But students who have earned a BS in Architecture (or equivalent) from another institution may also apply for entry to the M.Arch. program, though their stay will be two years, and 68 semester hours.
Finally, students with a NAAB accredited Bachelor of Architecture, who seek a Master's degree, can enter the one-year program. Northeastern University does not, at this time, offer what is known as the M.Arch. 1 degree for students with a University degree in something other than architecture.
