Master of Architecture + Master of Construction Management (MArch+MCM) joint degree program
Become a Master Builder
Broaden your perspective and your education by pursuing a joint degree from the McKelvey School of Engineering's Construction Management Program.
The Master of Architecture + Master of Construction Management (MArch+MCM) joint degree program prepares architectural students for the diverse roles within today's multidisciplinary design and construction process. 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.
In this joint program, the School of Architecture accepts nine credit units earned in the McKelvey School of Engineering toward the MArch degree. In the same way, the McKelvey School of Engineering accepts nine credit units earned in Architecture toward the MCM degree, as long as the MCM degree is finished at the same time or immediately following the MArch degree.
