About the course

The Notre Dame School of Architecture graduate programs in architecture and urban design promote built environments that are durable, useful, and beautiful, and which are supportive of strong communities. The School seeks to train designers, scholars, preservationists, and advocates for the built environment who will play a leading role in their professions and may translate their skills and advocacy to a variety of disciplines and arenas.

　　Toward these ends, the graduate curriculum promotes a holistic approach to design education and the understanding of detail, building, and city as a continuous and interdependent scalar spectrum. It engages both intellectual endeavor and the practical teaching of craft in order that the best lessons of historic precedent might be learned, expanded upon, and combined with a judicious use of contemporary strategies, materials, and methodologies in order to contribute toward buildings and urbanism which are environmentally and culturally sustainable.

How to apply

Entry requirements for University of Notre Dame

Students seeking a three-year M.Arch professional degree (Path C) may come from any other discipline as long as they hold a minimum of an accredited Bachelor's degree, or the international equivalent. Path C eligible students include those with degrees, majors, or minors in allied disciplines such as architectural engineering, landscape architecture, or urban studies.

　　The School of Architecture does not list a strict minimum GPA for admission, but does see an applicant's GPA in a previous course of study as one key indicator of future academic performance. Generally, the Admissions Committee seeks a GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale. RE scores reported must result from tests taken within the last five years. Exceptions might be made for GRE scores used to enter a previous graduate program, however all applicants must report GRE scores. Test scores should be ordered and sent by the testing service to the University of Notre Dame, institution code 1841. To expedite the review process, applicants may also upload preliminary (unofficial) scores until official ones are available. The School of Architecture expects a minimum GRE score of 308 and would find it difficult to consider someone submitting a score below 300 for the combined Quantitative & Verbal Reasoning portions of the exam. The score for the Writing portion of the exam is expected to be 3.5 or above. The University of Notre Dame recommends a minimum score of 7.5 (TOEFL) or 100 (IELTS) and the School of Architecture graduate programs do as well.
