<p>Hi, I'm applying to colleges this weekend, and I'm wondering - is architecture in the category of Engineering > Civil Engineering?</p>
<p>thx</p>
<p>Architecture is usually in its own seperate college. Like the business college, or the college of education.</p>
<p>or the college of art and architecture.</p>
<p>Wait...so on USNEWS.COM, when it says engineering, Architecture is NOT included?</p>
<p>i know nothing about USnews, but civ. eng. and arch. are really different things. I used to think they were similar as well....so looking at your first post, if you're applying to civ eng. you won't be able to take the arch. licensing exam, and you would need around 3 years for an M.arch for to go from civ.eng to arch, YET if you take a 5 year b.arch, you can take a 2 year (or less) dual degree of arch/structural engineering that would allow you to sit for both licensing exams.</p>
<p>Catholic U. of America has a combined architecture/engineering degree.</p>
<p>well, im looking for architecture...oh well...</p>
<p>Architecture is completely separate from engineering, only a few schools have architectural engineering degrees (Tufts, UMiami, CU, Cal Poly SLO and Princeton are the ones that I know). Most have only 4-yr BA's or BS's in Architectural studies or 5-yr Barch degrees that include certification. You can't practice architecture with a 4-yr degree, most go on for a March which is licensed. Like bneg says, it's a pretty long road, so be sure you know what each route entails.</p>
<p>stanford also has architectural engineering...</p>
<p>but if you want to become an architect, BArch for five years or BA for four years and an MArch for 2~3 years is the way to go. and plus you need three years of work experience plus the ARE (architecture exam) to become an architect....</p>
<p>now i'm getting depressed...such a long way to go!</p>
