Students in the Joint Degree M.Arch./M.B.A. Program must complete a minimum of 90 credit hours, including a minimum of:
1. 60 credit hours in Taubman College (cannot include transfer credit or work experience) as follows:
• 36 credit hours of 500/600 level architecture courses, including four courses (24 hours) of architectural design (Arch 552, Arch 562, Arch 662, Arch 672);
• Four courses (12 credit hours) of specific required architecture courses (Arch 516—Architectural Representation, Arch 572—Architectural Theory and Criticism, Arch 583—Professional Practice, and Arch 589 Site Planning)
• One course (3 credit hours) in each of three subject areas—Architectural History, Environmental Technology, and Structures
• 15 credit hours of transferable electives from the Business School
2. 60 credit hours in the Business School, including:
• 30 credit hour M.B.A. core (no credit is awarded for Business Administration core courses successfully waived; credit must be earned with Business electives
• 15 elective credit hours in Business Administration
• 15 credit hours of transferable elections from Taubman College
Students must earn a cumulative GPA of “B” in Architecture and maintain good academic standing in Business.
Enrollment is evenly divided between the two units, resulting in two separate transcripts. For the first year, the student has a choice between registering in Taubman College (Plan I) or registering in the Business School (Plan II). Registration in the second year (Year 6) then takes place in the other unit. During the third year (Year 7), registration is split between the two units, with one semester completed in Taubman College and one in the Business School. Each program then applies its individual policies on the transfer of credit to award the degrees simultaneously. If a student decides not to continue in the program, either degree may be awarded independently, provided the requirements of the single degree have been met. Because enrollment in the program involves two separate units, it becomes the responsibility of the student to follow the academic policies and procedures of each. |
