The integrated option allows a limited number of qualified undergraduates to complete the BDA and M.Arch degrees in six rather than seven years. Accepted students complete year one of the Master of Architecture (M.Arch.) curriculum during the senior year of their undergraduate degree. Some M.Arch. courses satisfy upper division requirements or may satisfy general elective credits.
Students accepted to the integrated BDA+M.Arch degree must substantially complete BDA requirements before their senior year, and have a program plan in place verifying that undergraduate degree program requirements will be met by the end of the senior year. A maximum of 12 credits of the M.Arch. program courses will be allowed to count toward the BDA degree.
Integrated status is granted on a competitive basis. Students must work with their academic advisor and the undergraduate program director to complete a pre-application. Eligibility is based on program GPA (courses with ARCH designator) and overall UMN GPA; preferred program GPA is 3.8 or higher. The program application includes: a transcript, writing samples, three recommendation letters, a design portfolio, and a program plan for completing the BDA degree within the first year of the professional program coursework. Integrated students apply to the M.Arch degree and are granted a deferred start date while they complete their first year of the M.Arch as their final year of the undergraduate degree.
