JOINT/DUAL DEGREE PROGRAMS
MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE
MASTER OF EnGINEERING
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Students must dually register in the A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning and the College of Engineering. For any given term, courses being double-counted should be elected in each unit, while those pertaining only to the M.Arch. degree are elected in Architecture and Urban Planning and those pertaining only to the M.Eng. degree in Engineering. The dual M.Arch./M.Eng. degree requires the completion of a minimum of 75 credit hours. Specifically, a student must complete:
1. 36 credit hours of 500/600 level architecture courses, including four courses (24 credit hours) of architectural design (Arch 552, Arch 562, Arch 662, Arch 672);
2. Five courses (15 credit hours) of specific required architecture courses: (Arch 516—Architectural Representation, Arch 572—Architectural Theory and Criticism, Arch 583—Professional Practice, Arch 589—Site Planning, and Arch 660—Thesis Development Seminar)
2. One course (3 credit hours) in each of three subject areas—Architectural History, Environmental Technology, and Structures
3. 9 credit hours of construction engineering “core” courses (CEE 531, CEE 532, CEE 536)
4. 6 credit hours of graduate-level construction engineering courses
5. 3 credit hours of a construction practice seminar (CEE 530)
6. Any additional cognate/elective courses needed to fulfill the 75 credit hours and general requirements of each degree
In addition to the requirements outlined above, students must also complete—by the end of their first year of graduate study—the following courses or approved equivalents: CEE 351 Civil Engineering Materials, CEE 431 Construction Contracting, CEE 432 Construction Engineering, and CEE 445 Engineering Properties of Soils. In order to minimize scheduling problems, students are strongly encouraged to complete these courses prior to entering the dual program. Note that these four courses, as well as other 300 and 400 level courses, will not be recognized for graduate credit within the 30 credit hours required for the M.Eng. degree.
A cumulative GPA of "B" must be earned in each unit and no more than 15 credit hours may be double-counted toward the two degrees. Each unit maintains a separate transcript and either degree may be awarded independently, provided the requirements for the single degree have been met. Because enrollment in the dual program involves two separate units, it becomes the responsibility of the student to follow the academic policies and procedures of each.
