<p>The list is for 5 yr Barch. Would you help me to complete my list?
So far I have:
Cornell
Rice
RISD
Cooper
Pratt
San Luis Obispo
VTech
Syracuse
Uof Cincinnati
U of Texas
CarnegieM
Kansas State
Penn State
USC
U of Notre Dame
U of Oregon
Cal Poly Pomona</p>
<p>I have 17 top programs so far. Who am I missing? would you delete some college from this list?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>We need more options. Please help me to come up with the top 30 arch programs. I also wonder if makes sense to rank top 30 programs since there are not many arch programs with 5yrs Barch.</p>
<p>Hope it's not confusing. This is my final question. First, I'm trying to complete the top 20 arch programs for the 5 year Barch. Second, I don't think top 30 makes sense. Therefore, I'd like to know about hidden gems. I know they must exist. Any parents or arch students know about any hidden gems for a 5year Barch? or maybe someone could give us some ideas about how to find them?
Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>check the design intelligence rankings survey. In it, they list all colleges that have a BArch program by state. Also, ACSA has a website and a "catalog" listing all architecture schools and info about the schools and type of degrees offered.
You are missing, for example, Auburn, U of Miami, Florida Atl, IIT, Kansas (5 yr MArch), LSU, Maryland, Wentworth, RPI, NC State, Drexel. There is more. Some of these may not be "ranked" in the top 20 in rankings but are very good, nonetheless.</p>
<p>According to the NAAB website there are only 54 schools that currently offer a 5 yr BArch degree.</p>
<p>As to OP's question about deleting or adding a school to the list... I could find a reason to delete any of the listed schools from an individual's list depending on the kid, as well as reasons that any of them might be the best choice... I'm in no way qualified to judge or rank the list.</p>
<p>you forgot berkley, miami of ohio, u of michigan, wash u</p>
<p>Laurstar07: according to the ACSA guide to Architecture Schools, the ones you listed show only a MArch degree, not a BArch which aliastoo is interested in.</p>
<p>Thanks all for your suggestions. I don't think I was very clear, but I'm also looking for hidden gems. 5 year Barch that doens't have "rankings" but are really good programs. If you know any hidden gems, please share with us.</p>
<p>my school-- Cooper Union</p>
<p>Tzar, Cooper is in the top 10 programs....wow! you're a student a Cooper! I heard it's really hard to get in. May I ask how did you get into Cooper?</p>
<p>wow-- I just skipped right over my school-- for some reason I assumed because of its size and the fact that these rankings usually come from sources that don't include it, that it would once again be overlooked. Sorry all.
aliastoo- it is pretty much all based on the home test give or take a few factors- but basically you can get in for any number of reasons, depending what someone thinks about your response to a prompt.</p>
<p>btw-- hidden gem might be sci-arch- but it is pretty radical and only offers architecture, so keep that in mind.</p>
<p>I cannot think of any BArch hidden gems. However one of the biggest hidden gems is the University of Texas at Arlington. It is a medium sized campus located between Dallas and Fort Worth, and has produced outstanding design graduates for the last 20 years. The portfolios for the top students in the class are as good as any I have seen from four year programs around the country.</p>
<p>aliastoo, you had UCincinnati (DAAP) on your list for 5-year BArch programs. DAAP offers a highly-rated and distinctive program (my S is a sophomore, who's thriving there), but it's not a 5-year BArch. Good luck!</p>

<p>University of Texas at Austin both undergraduate and graduate is almost always top 10 or so ranked. In 2005 the accredidation board ranked it second in the nation.</p>
