MIT undergraduates who wish to study architecture do so while satisfying the General Institute Requirements (GIRS), which give them the exposure to the humanities and sciences needed to provide a well rounded education as a foundation to their architectural education.
DESIGN ARCHITECT PROFESSIONAL
These professional degrees are structured to educate those who aspire to registration/licensure as architects. There are two types of degrees that are accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB): 1) the Bachelor of Architecture, which requires a minimum of five years of study, and 2) the Master of Architecture, which requires a minimum of three years of study following an unrelated bachelor’s degree. Most states require that an individual intending to become an architect holds an accredited degree. Others enter into related fields or the profession. Students graduating from the Bachelor of Science in Architecture often choose to go on to graduate school to earn a Master of Architecture. Undergraduate courses provide a teacher to student ratio rarely greater than 1 - 10, with additional teaching assistants from the MIT Architecture’s graduate programs The Department offers over 100 courses annually (graduate + undergraduate) taught by a faculty of 55. The programs are continually evolving to engage new ways of thinking about architecture, art and design.Īpproximately 250 students register in the department each year, of whom approximately 120 are pursuing an architecture or design major, minor, and/or humanities & social science concentration. The range of studios, lectures, workshops and seminars provides an active learning environment in which individual creativity and criticality can be nurtured.
The curriculum is structured to teach essential basics in multiple disciplines and provide flexibility for exploration.
Committed to a rigorous and interdisciplinary approach, all programs challenge our students to be creative, innovative, and responsible leaders in the field.
The Architecture Department's extensive offerings reflect the commitment to cultural, social, political, technological, and ecological issues of the built environment, and the teaching of art and design not just as a means to an end, but as a form of knowledge and creative practice. Situated in MIT's rich and intense educational environment, architecture and design programs emphasize the interconnected relationship between architecture, design, building technology, computation, and the history, theory and criticism of architecture, art, and design. Additionally, The MIT Department of Architecture offers undergraduate minors in Architecture, Design, History and Theory of Architecture Art and Design (HTC), and Art Culture Technology (ACT). Course 4 leads to the Bachelor of Science in Architecture (BSA), and Course 4-B leads to the Bachelor of Science in Art and Design (BSAD). The MIT Department of Architecture offers two undergraduate majors providing a deep and broad undergraduate education in the fields of architecture, art, and design.
