像大多数研究生申请一样,学校对文书的关注点有:人生目标,职业规划,专注的方向或兴趣,感兴趣的教授,领导力,审美能力,设计天赋,创造力,敏锐独特的洞察力,与学校的匹配度等。
建筑学研究方向:比如明尼苏达大学(可持续设计,文化遗产保护,大都市设计)
建筑类的不同专业:建筑学(Architecture)、建筑史(Architectural History)、建筑研究(Architectural Studies)、社区和地区规划(Community and Regional Planning)、历史保护(Historic Preservation)、景观建筑学(Landscape Architecture),可持续设计,大都市设计,城市规划和设计
建筑学硕士申请时,注意是申请的具体program的年限。
M Arch 3+ and 2+ Year applicants: A one-page statement of purpose should clearly articulate your goals and the extent to which the M.Arch. program can be expected to prepare you for them. Although this statement should be primarily forward-looking, some information about your background may be helpful.
M Arch 1+ Year applicants: The statement of purpose must include a specific and clearly-articulated plan of study. Applications who do not include a clear plan of study cannot be evaluated seriously. This statement should also include a list of faculty in the department who are best qualified to work with you on the program of study. The Graduate Program Coordinator will ask the faculty on this list, and others who can comment on the proposal, to evaluate the application. In order to be admitted to the program, it is essential for candidates to gain the support of faculty who share academic interests with them.
