专业概况

The Master of Architecture degree program provides graduates with the requisite educational background to enter the professional practice of architecture and its numerous variants. The Master of Architecture degree is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), qualifying its recipients to take a state professional licensing examination after a required internship period.

There is a central thrust, related to contemporary practice and the requirements established for legal use of the title, Architect, which focuses on the design of buildings and environments to satisfy stated individual or societal needs. Integral with this thrust is an examination of the processes of design, systems of construction, relationships to environmental, social, historical and geographical context, and an understanding of behaviorism and symbolism. This program complements and completes studies begun in the four year undergraduate program.

Within the professional program there is opportunity and encouragement to explore a range of professional directions, related to the expertise and interests of the faculty. A student may develop his/her own individual program which may include portions of existing emphasis areas in Architectural design, History and theory, Computer simulation, Interior Architecture or focused certificate programs in: Facility Management; Health Systems and Design; Historic Preservation; Sustainable Urbanism. The College, with its four related academic departments and five research centers is in a strong position to support such diverse activity and the resources of the University provide additional depth in such areas as engineering, business, management.

Curriculum

The architecture program at Texas A&M University adopted the "4+2" pattern in 1969, with the first professional degree given at the graduate level. The program is built on the undergraduate foundation of a pre-professional degree in architecture, such as the Bachelor of Environmental Design with Option in Architectural Studies. The Master of Architecture program requires 52 credit hours typically spread over two years. The core curriculum is an examination of the processes of design; systems of construction; relationships to the environmental, social, historical, and geographical context; and an understanding of the behavior and use of symbols in architecture. In all of these areas, the graduate program builds on the foundation of courses taken at the undergraduate level.

Specialization

A total of 25 credit hours of specialization courses including 12 elective credit hours permit the student to structure a program of study related to an established departmental emphasis area, certificate program or a unique exploration topic that has faculty support.

During the second semester of study, the student will, with advice from the faculty, select an advisory committee and develop a degree plan using one of the patterns of study as a guide. Based on this plan, which may include international opportunities, the student should identify course work that clearly leads to the development of skills and the acquiring of knowledge that will prepare him or her for the final study. The Final Study, or thesis project, is a design project with a strong scholarly basis that represents the culmination of the student’s architectural education and preparation. It will exhibit a clear understanding of an integration of both the discipline and practice of Architecture.

The field of architecture synthesizes ecological, technological, social, behavioral, and aesthetic contexts and constraints into healthy sustainable human and natural environments. The graduate program provides an opportunity to examine the past, equip for the present, and prepare for future challenges in architecture.
