Master of Architecture

The Master of Architecture degree is an accelerated 5-year continuous program (combining a BA and MArch) that prepares students to become practicing, licensed architects in the United States of America. Students may transfer into the program at any time, including after completing a bachelor's degree elsewhere. The MArch program is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board. The primary goal of CBU's architecture program is to help students develop the capacity and judgment necessary to understand the built environment and generate architecture as a critical response, so that each student can engage both the discipline of architecture and the multiple discourses – artistic, technological, social, political, environmental, economic, spiritual – necessary to be a successful practitioner and a conscientious citizen operating with a biblical worldview. The MArch program is a continuous program culminating with a BA and MArch concurrently at the end of five years. Students may transfer into the program at any stage.
