Geofutures Master of Science in Architecture Program at Rensselaer Architecture: Student Project Wins Second Place in Archinect’s Dry Futures Competition

The Geofutures Master of Science in Architecture (MSArch) is a one-year postgraduate program intended for students who already hold a professional undergraduate degree in architecture (BArch or equivalent) but would like to obtain a masters degree. The program is also open to students interested in advanced graduate study who hold an undergraduate non-professional degree from a related field of study in the arts, sciences, or humanities.
