Graduate Degree Programs (M.ARCH)

Hsinming Fung, Graduate Program Director

SCI-Arc’s graduate studies foster the school’s open-ended spirit of inquiry, re­sponding to shifts in society, technology, and culture with a constantly-evolving learning environment in which faculty and advanced-level students work together to advance to the next generation of the architectural discipline. The programs are led by a faculty of practitioners and scholars that is actively engaged in con­temporary architectural discourse and production worldwide, working in fields ranging from design and engineering to visual and cultural studies. Through the feedback they provide from their own practices, the graduate curriculum is con­tinuously and dynamically shaped in a manner only available to an institution en­tirely devoted to architecture. The graduate programs promote cross-pollination from other fields of study in a critical manner, with a practice that derives from an emphasis on process and a synthesis of thinking, inquiry and execution. With a diverse and international student body, the graduate programs at SCI-Arc provide a rigorous architectural education that promotes experimentation and creative freedom, and is at once global and local, comprehensive and current. In pursuit of these goals, the graduate programs offer four study options: The three-year M.Arch 1 program, the two-year M.Arch 2 program and the one-year SCIFI and MediaSCAPES programs.
