2 Design Master of Architecture Degree Programs

The Master of Architecture (M.Arch.) and Master of Urban Design (M.U.D.) dual degree at UNC Charlotte integrates professional architectural training with urban-scale design expertise to shape meaningful public spaces at the neighborhood and city levels.

The MArch Design Practice is a one-year programme that supports architects, designers, and spatial practitioners’ creative and critical engagement with the design of the built environment. With climate as a central focus, students will consider how reuse, materials, waste, and embodied carbon intersect with economics, politics, and identity to produce new opportunities for design practice in the just transition toward a fair and flourishing world. Students will critically engage with the planetary implications of construction and make bold, rigorous and informed design propositions through which a world otherwise can be built.
