ADD VIDEOs-Joint Degree design to build and what sets the joint program apart

The success of today's built environment depends on the integration of different perspectives into a comprehensive solution. Students who complete the joint degree program are in formation to become master builders by integrating art/design, social factors, and construction management knowledge. 

Broaden your perspective and your education by pursuing a joint degree from the McKelvey School of Engineering's Construction Management Program.

Architecture students enrolled at the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts can earn a MArch +MCM degree in considerably less time than pursuing each degree separately.

From your first course and throughout the program, learn theories combined with real-world applications, strengthening your management acumen, collaborative problem solving, interpersonal communication and leadership competencies. Graduates become leaders and integrators capable of facing the challenges and opportunities in today's built environment.
