The Master of Architecture is an accredited professional degree program that educates students already grounded in the liberal arts to become registered, licensed architects who assume enlightened, responsible, and imaginative roles in society. At the University of Washington, the two+ and three+ year Master of Architecture (M.Arch.) degree is the only degree accredited by the the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). The one+ year post-professional Master of Architecture is a non-accredited advanced degree for students already holding an NAAB accredited degree. Design studio projects in the M.Arch. program are often set within urban areas or natural settings in the Puget Sound region and aim to foster and respond to its distinctive sense of place. In addition, many studios focus on issues surrounding the making of architecture - tectonics, design/build, wood and metal craft - this reflects a strong craft heritage in the region. Studios also frequently include a significant community service component, reflecting the Department's commitment to the people of the city and the region. The requirements of the Master of Architecture program - in terms of length of residency, number of credits, and specific courses - vary depending upon the candidate's undergraduate major, academic and professional background.
