Architecture Launches MS-RP Degree

Starting this spring, the School of Architecture will offer a new
concentration in research practices within their master of science in
architecture degree (MS-RP) for students starting the fall of 2013.
The program aims at halving the amount of time from high school to

Council of Architectural Registration Board's Intern Development
Program and Architect Registration Examination, and leverages the
historically strong connection between practice and academy in the
Minneapolis/St Paul community.
