<p>There are several paths to an architecture degree that let you become an architect - to become registered, you need a NAAB-accredited degree. You can get:
-A 5-year BArch, from a NAAB-accredited school.
-A 4-year BA in anything, and a 3-year MArch.
-A 4-year BA / BS with a strong focus on architecture, and a 2-year MArch.</p>
<p>Bennington would prepare you for a 3-year MArch. You would get spatial composition, architectural history, and a deep humanist basis for the profession. I agree with Danceclass - you’d learn to learn. If you’re up for the longer education (and all life is learning), the 4+3 route prepares you for thoughtful, critical practice of architecture.</p>
