<p>Hi. I'm a rising senior in high school, and I want to major in architecture. The problem is that I am not 100% certain that I want to pursue this field so I am also looking into engineering colleges. As a result, to ensure a satisfactory transition between majors in college, if that happens, I am trying to find colleges that perform well in both architecture and engineering fields. I cannot find too many so I would appreciate it if I received any assistance. Thanks</p>
<p>Maybe Rice?</p>
<p>Kansas, Kansas State, Syracuse, Auburn, Oregon… [Americas</a> Best Architecture Schools 2012 | Features | Architectural Record](<a href=“http://archrecord.construction.com/features/Americas_Best_Architecture_Schools/2012/schools-4.asp]Americas”>http://archrecord.construction.com/features/Americas_Best_Architecture_Schools/2012/schools-4.asp) What is your home state?</p>
<p>Probably not what you had in mind but I’ll mention it anyway…WPI has a major in architectural engineering. It’s a new program.</p>
<p>[Civil</a> & Environmental Engineering: Major in Architectural Engineering - WPI](<a href=“http://www.wpi.edu/academics/cee/major-architectural.html]Civil”>Architectural Engineering | Worcester Polytechnic Institute)</p>
<p>Rice
Stanford</p>
<p>I think that you should try [Engineering</a> College in Jaipur](<a href=“http://www.mgijaipur.org/]Engineering”>http://www.mgijaipur.org/). There are some good Engineering Colleges who provide the best course for Civil and Architecture.</p>
<p>RPI in Troy, NY. Troy is not great itself, but the college is absolutely amazing. Not really a typical college experience, but it does have Greek life and they are pretty excited about their ice hockey team. Awesome in career placement (we were looking for engineering, not architecture though).</p>
<p>Cooper Union is fantastic and offers only art, architecture, and engineering. Every student gets a full-tuition scholarship. Admission rate overall is 7%, though.</p>
<p>According to the NAAB, only 51 schools have accredited bachelor’s programs in architecture.</p>

<p>Eliminating architecture colleges without engineering leaves fewer than 40 schools, which I’ve sorted by US News rank in engineering.</p>

<p>Erin’s Dad my home state is new jersey</p>
<p>thanks warblersrule</p>
<p>I have a good friend who is a successful architect in Philadelphia. He graduated from Drexel.</p>
<p>NJIT is in-state. Can your family pay OOS rates?</p>
<p>You might also look at school which have Architectural Engineering programs. That is the easiest transition to make if you decide that pure Architecture is not for you.</p>
<p>I’ll put a plug in for Virginia Tech - great programs in both and a great college scene (pretty campus, town, sports, multitude of things going on on campus) too.</p>
<p>yes. my family is able to afford out-of-state tuition</p>
<p>I second the advice for R.P.I… Business Insider ranked the engineering program right behind Caltech, MIT and Stanford.</p>

<p>Hi, would you happen to know anything about the architecture graduate program at the University of Kansas?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
