Bachelor of Architecture and M.U.D.
Academic Advisor: Sasha N. Corchado
The New Jersey School of Architecture has established a dual degree program within the school that permits students to obtain a B.Arch. with a Master in Infrastructure Planning (M.I.P.). There is no reduction in the degree requirements for the professional degree in architecture. The dual degree program permits students to obtain an M.I.P. in substantially less time.
Up to 12 credits of graduate-level coursework may be applied to both the B.Arch. and M.I.P. Students may take additional courses at the graduate level during their undergraduate career, but these courses do not count toward the undergraduate degree requirements and students are charged at the graduate course rate.
Eligible students should contact the Office of Graduate Studies in their junior or third year regarding the process for admission to the dual degree program. The Office of Graduate Studies will coordinate the process with the undergraduate program director in the School of Architecture and later with the graduate advisor and the Office of Graduate Admissions as the student nears completion of the undergraduate degree. In order to be eligible for initial and continued participation in the dual degree program, the student must maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA and take the GRE during the senior or final undergraduate year.
