There are generally three kinds of application conditions for American architecture graduate students: M ArchⅠ、M. Arch II and M Arch III, the application direction generally includes design direction, theory and management direction. Compared with the American undergraduate application, graduate students require more completion of their portfolios.
Architecture, in a broad sense, is a discipline that studies architecture and its environment. In general, and according to the original meaning of the corresponding words (from Europe to Japan to China), it refers more to the integration of art and technology related to building design and construction. Therefore, architecture is a discipline spanning engineering technology and humanities.
Skills in making architectural design works
Degree setting
American architecture can be divided into B Arch, M.Arch., D.Arch., i.e. undergraduate, master and doctor. Talk about the American Master of Architecture.
There are three types of master of architecture: M ArchⅠ、M. Arch II and M ArchⅢ
①M. Arch I: professional transfer degree, undergraduate degree is not limited to majors, and the length of schooling is usually 3 to 3 and a half years;
②M. Arch II: This major applies to the Department of Architecture. A bachelor's degree is a five-year architecture degree, usually lasting from two to two and a half years;
③ M. Arch III: post professional, for those who can apply for further research and further study after having a professional degree, the length of schooling is usually one year.
Type of American Architecture School:
Architecture is a comprehensive specialty including science and engineering, arts and arts. Comprehensive, professional and art colleges in the United States all offer courses related to architecture. Comprehensive universities, such as Harvard University and Princeton University, tend to practice; Professional institutions, such as the Southern California Institute of Architecture, are more academic; Art colleges, such as Rhode Island School of Design, are more artistic.

Research direction of architecture major in American universities:
Several common architectural research directions related to architecture in American architecture: architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, urban planning/City&Regional Planning.
The master's degree of architecture is divided into the first professional degree and the second professional degree.
Master in Architecture I(M.ARCH I)Professional Degree
M. ARCHI is a master of architecture program specially designed for undergraduate students who have obtained a Bachelor of Architecture. The length of schooling is generally three years. There are no strict requirements for undergraduate majors and degrees, but this means that the competition is more intense. Therefore, if you want to apply to a good school, the background requirements for students are more stringent. In addition to the basic high score and high GPA, a high-level and high-quality portfolio is also essential. In short, the stronger the comprehensive strength, the higher the competitiveness.
Admission requirements: GPA: GPA3.30 average for schools with TOP50 Language test: TOEFL average 90, GRE 305
Collection of works: there are a variety of works, which can reflect the unique design style of applicants. Original is the most important professional course: some schools also have requirements for students to take prerequisite courses, and students who are studying can take corresponding courses according to different requirements of the school
Master in Architecture II(Il)Post professional Degree
M. The first requirement for ARCH Ⅱ application is to have a bachelor's degree in architecture (the bachelor's degree in architecture in China is 5 years, and the Bachelor of Architecture degree is obtained after graduation), and the length of schooling is generally 2 years or 1 year. Project II itself also has many applicants, and the competitive pressure is also very intense. A higher level collection of works is crucial. In addition, the language test score is also the Higher the Better
Admission requirements: GPA: Top 50 Average GPA 3.30 Language examination: Top EFL Average 90, GRE 305 Portfolio: rich variety of works, can reflect the applicant's skilled software application skills and unique design style, original is the most important
Professional courses: some schools also require students to take prerequisite courses, and students in school can take corresponding courses according to different requirements of the school
Other requirements: it is also a good way to improve competitiveness to participate in architectural design related competitions and win a place, or have internship experience in architectural design units.
Application proposal
American undergraduate advice: pay more attention to academic achievements, and the collection of works only serves as a supplementary role. Some schools need a limited time (2-4 weeks) to set up an art exam or a Challenge portfolio project.

Academic achievements>=collection of works
American graduate student suggestion: Teng School values academic achievements, and T+GPA will not look at the collection of works if it is not enough for the school's soft requirements. Other schools are more relaxed about academic performance, but admission is also a comprehensive assessment of students' academic performance and work collection ability.
