<p>Would an M.Arch grad be more competitive for a great job in architecture if he got a B.S. in civil engineering from a good engineering school, then got an M.Arch with no prior arch education? Would it be better to just do undergrad architecture and proceed to an M.Arch program, or would the deep knowledge of civil engineering be a great foundation for an architect?</p>
<p>For an architectural position more years of architecture study would be more beneficial than adding civil engineering. However the combination of a BS in civil engineering and an MArch would make you very appealing to construction firms who seek individuals with both skill sets.</p>
