The Master of Heritage Conservation/Master of Architecture dual degree program facilitates highly related cross-disciplinary studies in both fields at the master’s level. The Master of Architecture program explores the power of design to change the built environment. The Master of Heritage Conservation program explores the power of place to understand how the built environment changes over time, and how existing places can evolve in ways that serve and strengthen communities. With the urgent need to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, reusing existing buildings is at the forefront of architectural practice. The dual degree curriculum offers students a broad, practical foundation in the theories, techniques and strategies of both disciplines. It pushes students to envision a more just built environment by leveraging cultural heritage and emerging design technologies, centering people and communities, and challenging the status quo.
Qualified students who are admitted to the Master of Heritage Conservation and the Master of Architecture programs in the School of Architecture may complete both degrees in a highly integrated six- to seven-semester program.
Completion of the dual degree requires 36 units of courses in heritage conservation (including 8 units of thesis) and either 48 units of architecture (for students admitted with advanced placement) or 79 units of architecture (for students admitted to the three-year curriculum).
