thanks, but I was trying to ignore wiki as the authority on this subject.

"Master of Architecture"

You can look this up under any school's degree programs page.

The true source is NAAB - National Architectural Accrediting Board:

As stated in the NAAB 2009 Conditions for Accreditation, the degree is Master of Architecture - http://www.naab.org/accreditation/2009_Conditions.aspx

II.2.2 Professional Degrees and Curriculum: The NAAB accredits the following
professional degree programs: the Bachelor of Architecture (B. Arch.), the Master of Architecture (M. Arch.), and the Doctor of Architecture (D. Arch.). The curricular requirements for awarding these degrees must include professional studies, general studies, and electives. Schools offering the degrees B. Arch., M. Arch., and/or D. Arch. are strongly encouraged to use these degree titles exclusively with NAAB-accredited professional degree programs.

Thanks for the clarification, Dr. Arch.

beekay: Actually, not all school's use "Master of Architecture." Case in point: http://www.gsd.harvard.edu/academic/arch/degrees.html There were more examples in the past, but it seems some schools fixed the typo.

I recently went to a portfolio workshop and an alumn who spoke to us insisted on using "Masters of Architecture."

hence the confusion...

hence my confusion...

Ah, those Harvard folk ... always thinking outside the box !

i was awarded this degree upon graduation...
