Are You Eligible?

The M.Arch. (Professional) requires the equivalency of the B.Sc. (Architecture) degree for admittance.

Applicants whose background includes a pre-professional degree in Architecture equivalent to the B.Sc. (Arch.) offered at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0, may be eligible for admission directly to the professional M.Arch. program. Use the Program Comparison Chart to help determine your eligibility. Graduates from the following institutions are generally eligible: Université de Montréal B.Sc.(Arch), Université Laval (B.Sc.Arch.), Toronto Metropolitan University (B.Arch.Sc.), Laurentian University (B.A.S. – Bachelor of Arch. Studies), University of Waterloo (B.Arch.Studies.), University of Manitoba (B.Env.Design), Carleton University (Bachelor of Arch. Studies - Design). Students with a Baccalauréat en design de l'environnement from UQÀM and a DEC in technologie de l’architecture are also generally admissible. Eligibility of other applicants who have completed the Baccalauréat en design de l'environnement from UQÀM will be studied on a case-by-case basis.  

Applicants whose background includes a partially-completed non-professional (B.Arch., B.S. Arch. or B.A. Arch.) undergraduate program in Architecture may be admitted to the B.Sc. (Arch.) program with advanced standing, in which case a maximum of 40 credits from the previous degree can be transferred to the B.Sc. (Arch.) program.

Applicants whose background includes a university degree in an area/discipline other than architecture are required to apply to the B.Sc. (Arch.) undergraduate program. They are not eligible for admission to the M.Arch. program. Admittance will most likely be to the first year of the B.Sc., with the possibility of some advanced credits for courses which are similar to those in the B.Sc. (Arch.) program.

Applicants whose background includes an Architectural Technology degree first need to complete the B.Sc. (Arch.) program. Applicants are considered college transfers and are only able to apply to the three-year B.Sc. (Arch.) program, and are required to complete the prerequisite courses as listed in the Undergraduate Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Guidelines for Applicants from Other Universities or Colleges and Second Bachelor Degree Applicants ("Transfers") elsewhere.

Applicants who have already completed a professional degree in architecture (ex. a 5-year B.Arch. degree or equivalent), are not eligible for admission to the M.Arch. (Professional) program.
