Online Master of Architecture

The master’s in architecture degree covers all aspects of architecture from theory and research to practice and design. The program focuses on developing your professional skills and social awareness. This knowledge will enable you to design buildings that improve contemporary life and remain an enduring expression of society.

The flexible curriculum offers two tracks to accommodate students of varying experience. The two-year track is for students who have an undergraduate degree in architecture. The three-year track is for students whose undergraduate degree is in a discipline other than architecture. Both tracks are completely online and focus on developing the same set of skills and knowledge.

Is an online master’s in architecture different from in-person?

Arizona State University is the most recognized institution to offer an online degree in architecture. It’s also one of only five online programs in the nation to be accredited by the National Architecture Accrediting Board. This means the degree meets the board’s educational standards and can lead to licensure as a professional architect. As an online student at ASU, you’ll learn from the same award-winning faculty and earn the same degree as in-person students.
