The School of Architecture at Æ»¹ûÒùÔº was founded in 1896. Our mission is to educate professionals who will contribute to the socio-economic and cultural development of Quebec, Canada and the broader global community through responsible participation in the process of the design, construction, and interpretation of the built environment.
The School offers the non-professional B.Sc.(Arch.) program, the M.Arch. (Professional) program, and post-professional research programs, including the M.Arch. (Post-professional) and Ph.D.
In Canada, all provincial associations recommend a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit Canadian professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes two types of accredited degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture and the Master of Architecture. A program may be granted a five-year, three-year, or two-year term of accreditation, depending on its degree of conformance with established educational standards.
Master's degree programs may consist of a preprofessional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree, which, when earned sequentially, comprise an accredited professional education. However, the preprofessional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.
Since all provincial associations in Canada recommend any applicant for licensure to have graduated from a CACB-accredited program, obtaining such a degree is an essential aspect of preparing for the professional practice of architecture. While graduation from a CACB-accredited program does not assure registration, the accrediting process is intended to verify that each accredited program substantially meets those standards that, as a whole, comprise an appropriate education for an architect.
Students in the B.Sc.(Arch.) program who intend to proceed to the professional degree must satisfy certain minimum requirements. Students must:
Further information on the M.Arch. (Professional) program and application procedures is available at www.mcgill.ca/architecture.
A limited number of qualified students may participate in an exchange with schools of architecture at other universities that have agreements with the Æ»¹ûÒùÔº School of Architecture, for a maximum of one term in the second year of the B.Sc.(Arch.) program. These include the following: Università Iuav di Venezia (Venice, Italy); Fakultät für Raumplanung und Architektur, Technische Universität Wien (Vienna, Austria); Institut Supérieur d'Architecture, Saint-Luc Bruxelles (Brussels, Belgium); École Nationale Supérieure d'architecture de Grenoble (Grenoble, France); École Nationale Supérieure d'architecture de Clermont-Ferrand (Clermont-Ferrand, France); Facoltà di Architettura Civile Politecnico di Milano (Boviso) (Milan, Italy); The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture (Copenhagen, Denmark).
