The Master’s degree in Architecture draws heavily upon the study of northern community needs coupled with an integrated approach to building systems for northern climates.
Building with wood, designing for climate change, and digital fabrication are three areas of study for advanced graduate work, including a final design Thesis.
The program length is two years, with a continued focus on experiential learning through design-build and community-design projects.
Design studio options include ‘Architecture and Craft,’ ‘Indigenous Design’, or ‘Community Building.’ Two terms are devoted to co-operative education, placing students locally, nationally and internationally in design-related offices.
The program at Laurentian University strives to become recognized nationally for Indigenous Design at the graduate level.
Indigenous worldviews and knowledge are present throughout the program, delivered in particular courses and through various community settings.
The McEwen School of Architecture is now officially the 12th accredited architecture school in Canada!

Due to accreditation requirements, applicants seeking direct entry into the 2-year M.Arch Program must have a pre-professional architecture degree.
Pre-professional architecture programs are those whose curriculum is designed to meet accreditation requirements established and cyclically reviewed by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) or foreign equivalent.
Applicants with a 4-year degree in architecture or a closely related field from a non-pre-professional program (the curriculum is not cyclically reviewed by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) or foreign equivalent) will be considered for acceptance into an Architecture Qualifying Year.
The Architecture Qualifying Year is designed to allow applicants to obtain the professional M.Arch degree over a 3 year period while ensuring that accreditation requirements are met.
Acceptance into the graduate program is contingent on the student maintaining good academic standing during the Qualifying Year.
Similarly, in some cases, international students with limited or no experience in cold climate construction and building envelope design, and/or not demonstrated sufficient, comprehensive design experience, and/or not deemed to have the requisite digital proficiencies to succeed in the M.Arch program will also be recommended to the Architecture Qualifying Year.
Students who maintain Good Academic Standing during the Qualifying Year need to provide a “Letter of Intent to Continue into the M.Arch. Program” to the Graduate Coordinator but will not need to reapply.
*Note: In some cases, depending on the quality of the portfolio and academic transcript, students may instead receive advanced standing into the third year of the BAS program.
If so, and upon successful completion of 60 undergraduate credits at the university, the student will receive a Bachelor of Architectural Studies degree and would be eligible to apply directly to the M.Arch program.
