About the Program
The three-semester Master of Science in Architectural Studies with a concentration in Sustainable Design (MSAS|SD) leads to a University of Florida master’s degree in the specialized field of sustainable design. Open to applicants with a bachelor’s degree in any field, the program offers an opportunity to enhance your educational background, professional qualifications, or teaching credentials through individualized, in-depth, and interdisciplinary research under the guidance of faculty experts.
Drawing on the diverse expertise within the College of Design, Construction, and Planning (DCP), the program integrates perspectives from architecture, building construction, historic preservation, interior design, landscape architecture, and urban planning. The degree requires a minimum of 36 credit hours, including eight credits devoted to a thesis or research-based Master’s Research Project (MRP).

The total cost of the 36-credit program is approximately $27,306 ($718 per credit hour for tuition + $40.50 per credit hour in university fees). Please note that university fees may vary slightly from year to year. Special tuition rates are available for Florida residents.
The program includes three short residency sessions—two on the Gainesville campus and one international study tour. Students are responsible for round-trip transportation, accommodations, cultural entry fees, and workshop costs. Workshop and tour costs will be announced in advance.
