Shape the architectural discourse to come

SCI-Arc EDGE, the university’s postgraduate platform, offers four Master of Science programs. The MS Architectural Technologies teaches you to master computation, robotics, material systems, and emerging design tech. With the MS Fiction and Entertainment, you’ll collaborate with top creatives to develop immersive narratives across film, gaming, and media.

The MS Design Theory and Pedagogy prepares you for a career that fuses academic inquiry with architectural practice. Lastly, the MS Synthetic Landscapes can teach you to tackle the ecological urgencies of our time with speculative environmental design.

SCI-Arc is located in the Arts District of downtown Los Angeles, one of the city’s most dynamic and creative neighborhoods. Housed in a quarter-mile-long former freight depot, campus is surrounded by galleries, studios, and design firms –– unlocking direct access to inspiration.

A living laboratory of experimentation

One of the US’s few independent architecture schools invites you to defy convention, reshape the built world, and rethink what architecture can be.

For over 50 years, the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) has stood at the cutting edge of design education — radical, independent, and unafraid to ask the difficult questions. Here, architecture collides with technology, urbanism, storytelling, gaming, theory, and the environment. Ideas become prototypes. Research becomes culture. Studio becomes life.

Qualifications for architects in the making

Undergraduate degrees here blend deep design immersion with rigorous liberal arts. Whether your path leads to architectural practice or new creative industries, you’ll graduate fluent in the language of innovation.

The B.Arch is a full-spectrum architectural education. From your first studio to your final review, it prepares you to lead in architecture, equipped with creative vision, technical skill, and critical insight. And since not all designs fit inside a building, SCI-Arc offers a BS Design that opens doors to storytelling, simulation, and spatial design across emerging media and platforms.

Push the limits with a graduate program

SCI-Arc’s NAAB-accredited M.Arch programs attract trailblazers from around the world. In a nonhierarchical studio culture, you’ll collaborate with practicing architects, theorists, and technologists to design for the world as it is — and the worlds we’ve yet to imagine.

The M.Arch 1 equips you with the design skills, conceptual frameworks, and technical knowledge to practice architecture at the highest level. The M.Arch 2 takes your existing architectural education to the next level through advanced design tools, digital fabrication, and speculative thinking that reshapes how we design, build, and live.
