Any
student admitted as an undergraduate to the University of Notre Dame
may declare an architecture major. Freshmen are encouraged to enter
the five-year program to begin the challenging curriculum as early as
possible. Admission to the School of Architecture graduate program is
also by application to the University of Notre Dame. Students who apply
to the graduate program must have a special interest in traditional
and classical architecture and urbanism. Three graduate degrees are
offered, the two-year Master of Architecture and the two-year Master
of Architectural Design and Urbanism for those holding a four-year pre-professional
degree or a five-year professional degree in architecture, and the new
three-year Master of Architecture program open to persons holding undergraduate
degrees in fields other than architecture.
