I have an architecture degree from outside North America, how long will it take me to complete the Master of Architecture program?
Accepted students with a professional degree will normally proceed directly to the first year of the Master of Architecture program and could complete the program in two years. According to the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB), many professional architecture degrees from outside Canada accepted by the Certification Board. In some cases, one or two additional courses may be required. Completion of the Master of Architecture program for purposes of achieving certification is therefore excessive in these cases. It is usually more appropriate for people with these degrees to pursue post-professional studies (such as the Faculty’s Environmental Design program) if they wish to continue their education. If you have a Bachelor of Architecture and wish to enquire about certification, contact the Canadian Architectural Certification Board in Ottawa.
