Our Master of Architecture is a STEM-designated program accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). Students from a variety of academic backgrounds are eligible to apply for the M.Arch degree. Students who have completed a pre-professional architecture degree may be eligible for the four-studio track option.
Each semester, we host in-person and virtual information sessions to give you an opportunity to learn more about our programs, get a tour of our facilities and labs, and help you visualize yourself as a Master of Architecture student. Attend an info session, meet with our advisors and program faculty, and get to know current students.
We offer two tracks for the M.Arch -- a Four Studio Track and a Six Studio Track.
Four Studio Track: This course of study is designed for students with a pre-professional degree in architecture. Applicants must hold a Bachelor of Science in Architecture, a Bachelor of Art in Architecture, or a Bachelor of Environmental Design to be considered for this track.
Six Studio Track: This course of study is designed for students with an undergraduate degree that was not a pre-professional degree in architecture.

The committee weighs several factors during the admissions process including the applicant’s statement of intent, letters of recommendation, portfolio, previous degrees, and GPA (Grade Point Average). If a student has a low GPA the committee tries to determine the cause by relating the statement of intent and transcripts.
Often an applicant will find themselves in a difficult life situation or a major that does not fit their interests. The committee uses this analysis to determine the potential success of the candidate by putting less emphasis on the overall GPA and more emphasis on the arch of the GPA over the course of their schooling.
GRE (Graduate Records Examination) scores are not required for admission at CU Denver, however, we accept scores as supplemental information for those students who feel they reflect their academic potential.
