Master of Architecture 2G

Architects today are interdisciplinary public intellectuals who engage their community, the discipline, and the world through many forms of creative professional practice. The Graduate Architecture Program at Tennessee challenges students to do more than envision buildings. We influence contemporary technology, material cultures, and political economies while drawing from histories and theories of the built environment. We prepare graduate students to be active intellectuals, willing and able to engage in cultural production and agency.

The School of Architecture offers two tracks leading to a professional Master of Architecture degree鈥攂oth of which challenge students to design their path through elective offerings, research studios, study abroad options, and degree concentrations.

The 2G track admits students looking to complete a 4+2 pathway, including those holding a BS in Arch degree from a NAAB-accredited institution. This program typically takes two years to complete, and it starts in August鈥攑rospective students should apply for Fall enrollment.

Please join us for our upcoming Open House for prospective M.Arch students. This event will be on-campus on Friday, October 25. More information is .

Pre-requisite: An architecture degree from a NAAB-accredited school of architecture. All other prospective students must apply to the 3G program.
