Academics Overview Program Strengths
The graduate degree programs have few requirements yielding a great deal of flexibility, encouraging work outside the curricular and disciplinary borders. Students do best when they understand their own direction and are able to assemble for themselves a curriculum and a set of advisors that take advantage of the wealth of resources available in Cambridge. Students come to HTC from design schools, from MA programs, from work, and directly from college. PhD and Master's students (enrolled in the SMArchS program) follow the same curriculum through the first three semesters of their enrollment. Master's students tend to return more frequently than PhD students to architectural practice and design teaching, but a large number also go on to PhD programs. There are two degree programs for undergraduates: The Bachelor of Science (BS) and the Bachelor of Science in Art and Design (BSAD).The BSAD includes several different undergraduate fields, not just in architecture but in the arts as well. These fields include architectural design, building technology, visual arts, and history, theory, and criticism of architecture and art. Most follow the BSAD model, however when students wish to create a dual field of study or plan a self-determined path, the Bachelor of Science degree is an option. |
