Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture

Master of Architecture - Level III

Entrance Admission Requirements

  1. Applicants must have earned a Bachelor of Architecture degree, or the equivalent, from an accredited school of architecture.

  2. Applicants must submit official Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores.

  3. Applicants must submit an 8 1/2" x 11" (A4) portfolio of representative work for evaluation by the Graduate Admissions Committee. While the portfolio should demonstrate the candidate's ability in the field of architecture, it may also present evidence of accomplishments in related fields such as photography, painting, sculpture, and graphics. In addition to serving as one of the criteria for admissions, the portfolio is used in placing students in the design sequence. The portfolio should be securely bound and should be accompanied by a self-addressed, postage-paid envelope if it is to be returned.
