JOINT/DUAL DEGREE PROGRAMS
MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE
MASTER OF URBAN PLANNING
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Students must register in the A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning and the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies. Course elections should be identical in each unit for each semester. The dual M.Arch./M.U.P. degree requires the completion of a minimum of 84 credit hours. Specifically, a student must complete:
1. 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)
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)
3. One course (3 credit hours) in each of three subject areas—Architectural History, Environmental Technology, and Structures
4. 30 credit hours of graduate level urban planning courses, including all “core” course work unless waived by the instructor
5. Any additional cognate/elective courses needed to fulfill the 84 credit hour requirement
In addition, students who lack college-level economics and statistics must complete acceptable courses in these two areas. One, but not both, may be counted toward the 30 credit hours of graduate-level urban planning courses, provided it has been taken for graduate credit. A cumulative GPA of "B" must be earned in each unit and not more than 24 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.
