<p>Guys,help me ,please. i have loved architecture and design since i can remember. the creative aspect has always made me happy,but haven't chosen where i want to teach
I have some variant:
1)MIT( what differences between architecture and architecture studies?and generally in MIT good architecture program or no;)
2) Princeton
3)Yale
4)SCI-arc
Please, could tell what is architecture engineering major?</p>
<p>First you have to understand the different degrees available to you. The fastest and most direct approach is to get a bachelor’s of architecture or BArch. This is generally a 5 year program and is offered at about 30 universities in the US. The BArch would allow you to proceed to becoming a licensed architect upon graduation. (You’d still have to take several exams and fulfill the work requirements.) </p>
<p>If you are an international student and do not intend to practice architecture in the US, you need to check your home country’s requirements.</p>
<p>Of the 4 schools you list only SCI-arc offers the BArch. The other schools offer the BS or BA, which means you would have to go on to graduate school to get an MArch. The BA/BS usually takes 4 years and the MArch from 1.0 to 3.5 years depending on the undergraduate degree and the structure of the MArch program.</p>
<p>With a BS or BA in architectural studies or really ANY major that interests you, art or art history for example, you can get into an MArch program as long as you fulfill certain requirements for admission. </p>
<p>At MIT, Princeton and Yale you would be applying for general admissions, not admission into the architecture school. At some point at the end of your first or second year, you declare your major, either architectural studies or something else. </p>
<p>Architectural engineering is an engineering degree with a focus on architecture. It does not qualify you to become licensed as an architect.</p>
<p>All of the schools you list are extremely selective and competitive. Adding a few less selectives would be a good idea, but first you have to decide which degree you are going after. </p>
<p>Also, you need to be look carefully at your financial situation. You may be eligible for need based aid for your undergraduate degree, but this is less likely for the MArch.</p>
<p>Cornell has BArch and should be on your list. Great program (and, as momrath said about other schools, extremely selective).</p>
Thank you very much!
A more complete definition, from UT-Austin’s website, is “Architectural Engineering deals with all engineering aspects of building performance, integrated with the building’s architectural requirements. At The University of Texas at Austin it includes structural engineering, mechanics and materials, construction engineering and project management, and building energy and environments.”
I was an architectural engineering major. I am an ENGINEER and not an architect. I knew I wanted to design building structures. I had no interest in road design, wastewaster plant design, drainage, etc., so that’s why I didn’t major in civil engineering.
I met Laura Bush when she read a book to my son’s preschool class back in October, 1998. When my husband and I told her we were ArchE majors from UT, where she went to graduate school, she assumed we were architects! She told us all about the design of their house near Waco. We didn’t bother correcting her! (Side note: When she asked the kids what they were going to be at Halloween, our son yelled out, “A BOOT!” That puzzled all of us!)
Thank you very much!
