The Master of Architecture/Master of Fine Arts dual degree is awarded for completion of 120 credits. The curriculum requires all the same coursework as each stand-alone degree; the compressed time frame and reduced credit points are possible because required architecture courses replace free electives in the lighting program, and required lighting design courses replace free electives in the architecture program. Dual-degree students take one lighting design/architecture design combined studio and must complete a joint thesis. Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average and fulfill all requirements in a timely manner. The standard course of study is four years. Students must have earned a four-year bachelor's degree to enter the program.
