About the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture
About the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture
Founded in 1896, the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture at Â鶹Çø offers professional programs, including B.Sc. (Arch.) and M.Arch. (Professional), and post-professional research programs, including M.Arch. (Post-professional) and Ph.D.
Vision
To advance professional architectural education that flourishes through research, critical practice, and community engagement.
Mission
The Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture educates professionals who contribute to the global community through the design, construction, and interpretation of the built environment. The School:
- encourages a diverse environment for teaching, learning, and research, supported by both traditional and state-of-the-art digital resources;
- develops professional and post-professional research-based Masters and Ph.D. programs that enable graduates to contribute responsibly to the profession, to research, and to careers in related fields;
- enriches multidisciplinary teaching and research within the University and in connection with other local and international universities;
- engages citizens' groups, local, provincial, and national governments, the private sector, and the profession toward the improvement of the built environment.
Architectural Certification in Canada
Architectural Certification in Canada
In Canada, all provincial/territorial associations/institutes/orders recommend a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit Canadian professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes two types of accredited degrees: the Master of Architecture (M.Arch.), and the Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.). A program may be granted a two-year, three-year, or six-year term of accreditation, depending on its degree of conformance with established educational standards.
Master's degree programs may consist of a preprofessional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree, which, when earned sequentially, comprise an accredited professional education. However, the preprofessional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.
The M.Arch. (Professional) degree is accredited by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB), and is recognized as accredited by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) in the United States.
Programs of Study
Programs of Study
Students in the B.Sc.(Arch.) program who intend to proceed to the professional degree must satisfy certain minimum requirements. Students must:
- complete the B.Sc.(Arch.) degree, including the series of required and complementary courses stipulated for professional studies, with a minimum CGPA of 3.00;
- submit a portfolio of work executed in the sequence of six design studios, as well as samples of professional and personal work;
- complete the minimum period of relevant work experience according to the current Work Experience Guidelines (see www.mcgill.ca/architecture/programs/professional/workexperience).
Further information on the M.Arch. (Professional) program and application procedures is available at www.mcgill.ca/architecture.
