Programme overview

The MS.Arch (Post‑Professional) is a 36‑credit, three‑semester graduate programme intended for students who already possess a professional architecture degree (US or international). Delivered in Brooklyn and starting in the fall, the course is STEM‑certified and focuses on advanced research methods, digital and robotic fabrication, visualization technologies and climate adaptation framed within public exhibition and publication of work.

What you'll study

The curriculum combines theory and research proseminars with advanced media, fabrication technology courses and design studios. Students develop proficiency in advanced visualization and digital fabrication workflows, experiment with AI‑driven tools and advanced prototyping techniques, and complete an applied research project that culminates in a thesis publication and public exhibition.

• Research and theory proseminars
• Advanced media and visualization technologies
• Robotic and digital fabrication techniques
• AI‑integrated design methods and prototyping
• Integrative design studios and applied building projects
• Thesis publication and public exhibition

Entry requirements

Applicants must already hold a professional degree in architecture (from the US or abroad). The programme admits students for the fall term only and is structured as a three‑semester, 36‑credit post‑professional MS.Arch.

Career prospects

Graduates are prepared for roles that combine research, technology and leadership in architecture and related fields. The programme cultivates expertise in advanced fabrication and digital tools, public engagement skills for community‑oriented projects, and research credentials useful for design leadership, academic or practice‑based research roles.
