1. Master of Architecture
Education & Academia · Degree Abbreviations
Professional architecture degree accredited by the NAAB that qualifies holders to pursue licensure in the US. Graduates with a preprofessional architecture bachelor's usually take about two years, while those from other fields take three to three and a half years.
Example: Harvard's MArch I program accepts students with no architecture background and runs seven semesters.
Written M.Arch. Schools often distinguish MArch I (first professional degree) from MArch II (post-professional, for those already holding a BArch). Licensure requires the AXP experience program and passing the Architect Registration Examination after the degree.
2. Massive hemorrhage, airway, respiration, circulation, hypothermia (MARCH)
Medical · Emergency Medicine Abbreviations
Tactical and military trauma sequence prioritizing control of life-threatening bleeding before airway management, because hemorrhage is the leading preventable cause of combat death.
Example: MARCH: junctional bleed packed, airway intact, chest seal applied, IV TXA, hypothermia wrap.
Used in Tactical Combat Casualty Care; H may also include head injury. Civilian EMS and active shooter protocols adopted similar hemorrhage-first teaching. It contrasts with traditional ABC sequencing.
