The Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree is designed to meet the need for post-professional education in applied research. It is a two and one-half term, intensive, non-studio-based program. It is particularly appropriate for mid-career professionals, students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. but who lack the knowledge or skills for immediate pursuit of this degree and persons who presently hold a professional degree in architecture and are seeking to broaden their knowledge and skill base, thus enhancing their employment prospects.

In contrast to the Master of Architecture degree, the Master of Science degree is a non-professional, non-terminal degree. Those who hold only the Master of Science degree are not eligible to apply for professional registration. Moreover, in most cases, the Master of Science curriculum does not include studio design courses. Instead, it culminates in an independent research project.
