The School of Architecture

What is the cost of studying for a year at The School of Architecture?

For 2024-25, the reported full-time graduate tuition at The School of Architecture was $36,000 for both in-state and out-of-state students. Reported required graduate fees were $2,500, bringing those two published charges to $38,500 for that academic year.

• 2024-25 full-time graduate tuition: $36,000.
• 2024-25 required graduate fees: $2,500.
• 2024-25 combined tuition and required fees: $38,500.

That combined figure is not a full cost-of-attendance estimate. Housing, food, transportation, health expenses, and architecture-specific materials or equipment may increase a student's budget. Ask for a current, itemized estimate that matches your degree path and enrollment period, then compare it with your individual aid offer. Grants reduce what a student must fund; loans generally must be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at The School of Architecture?

Students should distinguish a paid job from Federal Work-Study when considering employment during the Master of Architecture. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid that, when awarded, allows eligible students to earn wages through qualifying jobs; it is not an upfront tuition discount or a guarantee of a position.

Ask the financial aid office whether work-study applies to your graduate enrollment and how students locate eligible positions. For other campus jobs or architecture-related work, confirm the hiring process and expected hours. Studio deadlines can affect how much paid work is practical, so employment plans belong in the same conversation as the course schedule and financial aid budget.
