masters degree takes 3 years. each year is 30 something thousand dollars. so, 3 years = approximately $100,000.

Don't forget to include costs of living.

The estimate that the school sent me for the MSAAD program for tuition and living for 3 semesters (summer, fall, spring) was 78k.

also, 'advanced architecture studio' is not a program, it is semesters 4 through 6, the last three semesters, of columbia's m-arch program. the first three semesters are called 'core architecture studio.'

my roommate, mark, was in hernan's studio last semester. he's got a couple of pretty pictures at that link you posted. he enjoyed the studio.

here's a link to my studio last semester. see if you can divine which project is mine...

$78,000

and envision is absolutely correct, though these days it goes without saying: the cost of living in new york is the highest in the country. beware.
