Overview

Master of Architectural Studies

The Azrieli School of Architecture & Urbanism prepares students for a future in the profession and provides an extraordinary foundation for many interdisciplinary and related design fields. 

The Master in Architectural Studies (MAS) program is a 6-credit, non-accredited degree for students interested in pursuing in-depth investigations of matters of architectural concern as a preparation for academic research. 

The program aims at developing multidisciplinary and multimethod approaches to individual scholarship. 

The MAS can serve as a prerequisite to enter the PhD in Architecture. 

All of Carleton University's programs emphasize creativity and innovation within theoretical and practical parameters. 

Graduates within the Azrieli School can also pursue a Graduate Diploma in Architectural Conservation.

Capital Advantage

MAS students benefit from the proximity of organizations situated in the National Capital Region, such as the National Gallery of Canada (which includes the National Photography Institute) and the Canadian museums of History, Nature, Aviation, Science and Technology. 

Ottawa is also home to Library and Archives Canada, the National Research Council Canada, the National Capital Commission, the National Arts Center and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
