Graduate Seminar Selectives

Graduate Seminar Selectives cover a wide range of topics but all emphasize two important aspects of architectural education: verbal communication and writing. In all of the courses listed below students are expected to participate in faculty-guided discussions of the course material. In most cases, students also make one or more formal, research-oriented presentations to the class. All Graduate Seminar Selectives require that students write a substantial paper first as a draft, and then as a final paper that responds to the instructor’s critical feedback. Many of these courses also offer brief weekly writing exercises. (2+ and 3+year MArch students must take two Graduate Seminar Selectives.)
