SCI-Arc’s undergraduate program is focused on both the discipline and the practice of architecture, offering design excellence and intellectual breadth through a liberal arts education.

SCI-Arc’s graduate programs encourage an open-ended spirit of inquiry, actively responding to shifts in society, technology, and culture.

The three-year M.Arch 1 program provides students with a solid intellectual basis and understanding of the history, theory, technologies, and professional practice of architecture.

The two year M.Arch 2 program introduces students to advanced critical perspectives on contemporary architectural issues and examines the complex and shifting relationships between architecture and cultural, political, economic, and social change.

SCI-Arc EDGE, Center for Advanced Studies in Architecture, offers four postgraduate one-year degree programs and a fellowship, all devoted to investigations of architecture’s twenty-first-century frontiers.

Every summer, SCI-Arc organizes two independent programs—Making+Meaning and Design Immersion Days—open to anyone interested in the discipline of architecture.

SCI-Arc students have the opportunity to participate in study abroad and exchange intiatives with other institutes and universities around the world, as well as at SCI-Arc Satellites.

SCI-Arc’s academic education is built on a series of performance criteria and learning objectives.
