The Miller M.Arch is a first professional degree program, meaning that graduates will be equipped to continue through their internship period to the licensing exam, and ultimately to their professional architecture license.

Many graduates will follow the classic path, joining an existing practice, designing, and getting buildings built. Many others will take advantage of the habits of mind, strategic thinking, and deep knowledge of design to begin their own architectural practice, hybridize it with something else, or even head off in a different path altogether.
