<p>Who can tell me the ranking of top Architecture Schools for undergraduate? Thanks.</p>
<p>The following informative site from the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture should give you a good start:

<p>UVM is fairly impressive</p>
<p>Pratt Institute</p>
<p>ive heard notre dame's program is very good. it's a 5 year program where one year you spend in rome studying. it's very small (the architecture program) and the students all become very close. Plus ND has amazing job connections after you graduate</p>
<p>I hear that Cal Poly San Luis is really good</p>
<p>Harvard & Rice</p>
<p>Rice program is small but from what I can gather quite strong.</p>
<p>Fallinwater,
If you are serious about being an architect, I'd suggest you read more about the field. The ACSA link I cited earlier is a good starting point. It also has a very informative section for high school students on how to prepare for a career in architecture.</p>
<p>First of all, there is no such thing as a top architecture school for undergraduates. Architecture is a 5-year or 6-year professional program. If you quit after your bachelor degree, you will not be able to get certified.</p>
<p>There are quite a few architecture rankings around. You should be aware that they don't all agree...it depends on what kind of architecture training you prefer. Here's one from DesignIntelligence (<a href="http://architecture.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=architecture&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.di.net%2Farticle.php%3Farticle_id%3D178%5B/url%5D">http://architecture.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=architecture&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.di.net%2Farticle.php%3Farticle_id%3D178</a>).</p>
<p>Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.</p>
<p>CORNELL!!!!!!!!!! one of the best(if not thee best) and most renowned in the country</p>
<p>I just went and visited Ohio State and they said they have one of the best Architecture programs in the nation right now.</p>
<p>i heard from my friend, who is an archie major that USC and Upenn are fairly good, Michigan is ok too.</p>
<p>"CORNELL!!!!!!!!!! one of the best(if not thee best) and most renowned in the country"</p>
<p>....wasn't that from the movie "perfect score" also? I seem to recall that.</p>
<p>Cooper Union is definitely a VERY good/inexpensive school for architecture</p>
