DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN IIT s College of Architecture offers the only program leading to a PhD in Architecture in Chicago, a cosmopolitan metropolis characterized by a dynamic architectural culture, supportive research institutions and leading firms that drive the profession. Founded in the late 1s as a laboratory for applied research and scholarship, the PhD program attracts graduate students from the Americas, Asia, Europe and Africa who converge onto the landmarked, Mies-designed IIT campus to address a broad range of topics within a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary environment. The students enrolled in the PhD program explore the historic and contemporary intersections among Architecture, Culture & Technology through two areas of specialized research: History, Theory, and Criticism (HTC), and Technologies of the Built Environment (TBE). In this context Chicago and Midwestern architecture, infrastructure, landscape, and urbanism, are at the center of applied research and scholarly inquiry. Students are engaged in research including energy modeling, housing, landscape, urbanism, and the design and history of tall buildings. Graduates of IIT s PhD Program typically pursue academic careers in universities, obtain positions in research institutions or return to professional practice. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS An applicant to the doctoral program must hold a professional degree (B. Arch or M. Arch or M.L.A.) from a NAAB or LAAB accredited U.S. University or the equivalent. Applicants who have not completed the required professional degree may apply for the Master of Architecture. Applicants with only a B.Arch need to complete a Master of Science in Architecture to fulfill the first 2 credit hours of the 84 total PhD credit hours. MASTER OF (M.ARCH.)

SCIENCE IN POST-PROFESSIONAL DEGREE PROGRAM The Master of Science program is a research-oriented post-professional degree for students holding a NAAB-accredited B.Arch., M.Arch., or equivalent international degree. The program focuses on developing new and better models for shaping socialy, culturally, and ecologically sustainable environments, exploring the space between emerging forms of urbanization and existing concepts of architecture, landscape, and cities. The one-year program, two or three semesters in duration, typically lasts a full calendar year. The program is open to applicants holding a first professional Bachelor of Architecture or Master of Architecture degree. Applicants from the U.S. must have their degree from a National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB)-accredited institution. Applicants with a degree earned outside the U.S. must have the equivalent to a first professional degree in architecture and be eligible for licensure in their home country. CURRICULUM AND ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS The M.S. Arch program of study includes a minimum of 2 credit hours, of which twelve is in Cloud Studio and the remaining credits are in Thesis Preparation Seminars (ARCH 588/58), Research and Thesis Seminars (ARCH 51) and electives. Thesis development is parallel and complementary with the research design based Cloud studio ARCH 545 and design research based Cloud studio ARCH 54. The focus on design based research work is understood both as an intellectual problem of exploring the relationship between design and theory for knowledge production, and as a practical problem of the way that design research can effect architectural practice. SCHOLARSHIP Scholarships and fellowships are awarded to students who have an outstanding combined portfolio and academic record. The College of Architecture offers one-year scholarships to deserving applicants; only for their first year of study. Applicants are reviewed by the Director of the MS. Arch Program, and those who fall under the priority deadline will be notified of scholarship offers in March. Teaching assistant assignments are made a week before the beginning of each term and are approximately $2K-$K per semester. MASTER OF / LANDSCAPE (M.ARCH./ M.L.A.) DUAL DEGREE This newly created dual degree program provides core knowledge in both fields, while emphasizing shared territories and concerns, preparing students for the full complexity of the contemporary metropolis. The combined M.Arch./M.L.A. embraces integrative thinking and addresses the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. With just two additional semesters of study, students can add a second, highly desirable graduate degree. Those with a Bachelor of Architecture can apply for advanced standing further reducing their studies by one year. Thesis Preparation Seminars are conducted on thesis development, with a thesis statement outlining an area of study or a problem that has consequences for contemporary architectural production at-large. Thesis work leads towards the final acceptance of the presentation materials by the advisory committee. The text, reductions of the drawings, and representations using various media are bound together in a hard-cover volume, which is deposited in the GRC and the university s library. S. R.

IIT Architecture s M.Arch. first professional degree serves those students seeking a rigorous professional education. The curriculum of required and elective courses consist of design studios, architectural history and theory, building technologies, structures, representation, and professional practice. Design studios, which are at the heart of the program, follow a sequence of increasing complexity, proceeding from the basic elements of architecture, to buildings, and finally to the city. In the introductory period of the program, students are exposed to the fundamental elements of architecture and aspects of the profession. The history and theory of architecture are introduced as students develop skills of verbal, graphic and written communication. The second year of the program continues to develop the students skills while engaging them with issues of contemporary architecture and urbanism in design studios and related coursework that focus on the architectural and infrastructural elements that comprise the city. The final year of the architecture programs introduces students to urban design in research-based, forward-looking studios that speculate on the city of the future and related coursework on the city and global urbanism. The degree is accredited by the National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB), and is a necessary component for licensure in the field. ADVANCED STANDING Candidates who hold a minimum B.S. in Architecture, or an equivalent pre-professional architecture degree, that partially fulfills requirements may qualify for up to one year of advanced standing in the professional degree program. Candidates will be evaluated at the discretion of the Admissions Committee will be notified of their specific status upon admission. Admission with Advanced Standing may allow the candidate to complete the Master of Architecture degree in as few as two years (four semesters) and a minimum of credit hours, depending on prior preparation. For applicants with undergraduate degrees in architecture, the portfolio is the single most important component of your application. Project selection should be heavily skewed towards large-scale comprehensive design projects developed across several scales. Mastery of structural design, familiarity with advanced building technologies, and thorough knowledge of building practices should be clearly communicated. CURRICULUM AND ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS To be admitted without conditions to the M.Arch. program, an applicant is required to possess the following: 1) an understanding of basic systems and analytical procedures, including mechanics, heat transfer, light and sound, as demonstrated through the successful completion of college level physics course equivalent to IIT s PHYS 212; 2) an understanding of basic mathematical principles and analytical procedures, including algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, as demonstrated through the successful completion of college-level mathematics equivalent to IIT s MATH 122; ) a basic ability to produce freehand drawings of architectural forms and spaces, as demonstrated by the successful completion of one college-level drawing course or by portfolio submissions; 4) a basic understanding of design, as demonstrated by the successful completion of one college-level design course or by portfolio submissions; 5) a minimum of 45 semester hours (or the quarter hour equivalent) outside of architectural studies, either as general studies or electives with content outside of architecture. Candidates admitted with deficiencies in any of these prerequisites must fulfill them before matriculation. Students with a background outside of the area of architecture may be asked to complete an introductory studio prior to the start of classes. Prerequisite courses do not apply to program credit hours, nor are English language courses required for international students. Applicants must have a college grade point average of. on a 4. scale. SCHOLARSHIP Scholarships and fellowships are awarded to students who have an outstanding combined portfolio and academic record.
