<p>Does anyone have a feel for KState. I have a Jr in highschool looking for a good architect program. I read one report ranking Kstate fairly high and they are still in budget. Are they worth out of state tuition. We live in MN and could also consider UofM but haven't heard much about their program.
Any idea about North Dakota State's program?
Any thoughts?</p>
<p>I live in Kansas and am familiar with it. One co-worker’s daughter graduated from their interior architecture design program and immediately had a job in Dallas with a large company. Another girl (friend of my daughter, attends our church) is in their architectural engineering program (through the school of engineering) and is a continuing student. She is in her fourth year of the five-year program.</p>
<p>Another close friend is studying at the University of Kansas in their School of Architecture, Design and Planning.</p>
<p>I believe most of these programs are 5 years long.</p>

<p>I’d encourage your S or D to look at other majors as well. Architorture require long days and allows for a very limited social life, and the benefits after college (job options and salary) are limited for a number of years.</p>
<p>Kansas’ professional undergraduate Architectural degree, the BArch, (5 year program), is being phased out, (ending 2011), and they will only offer an accredited program for a MArch.</p>
<p>You should check the NAAB website for all accredited programs before you make any selections.</p>
<p>And for bigtrees, wow, way to kill a dream! I’ve been a practicing architect for 30 years, and continue to hire and engage with bright enthusiastic smart young people. Yes long days, but frankly, I’m still close to many of my architecture school classmates after all these years. So, social life and dedication to an intellectual pursuit are not mutually exclusive.</p>
