<p>What are the top Architecture programs in the nation?</p>
<p>Cornell, Yale, RISD, MIT, Harvard are a few that come to mind...</p>
<p>Here's what I was able to find. What do you think of K-State? And as far as architecture goes, is it a hard program? </p>
<p>Cornell University<br>
University of Cincinnati
Rice University
California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
Syracuse University
Kansas State University
Rhode Island School of Design
University of Texas at Austin
Carnegie Mellon University
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
University of Oregon
Iowa State University
Illinois Institute of Technology (tie)
Pennsylvania State University (tie)
University of Minnesota (tie)</p>
<p>Both Cal Poly campuses (SLO and Pomona) have excellent architecture programs.</p>
<p>MIT and Yale are really excellent.</p>
<p>Wash U in your very own city has a good architecture program!</p>
<p>My daughter is thinking of studying architecture. She found that there were two different kinds of programs offered at the undergraduate level. Some schools like Carnegie Mellon offer an intensive five-year Bachelor of Architecture program that qualifies students to take the licensing exam when they graduate. (You finish in 5 years but are pretty restricted in what you can take) Other schools have more of a liberal arts orientation, and you can major in architecture, but you would have to get a master's degree before you can take the licensing exam. (Some call this the 4 + 2 option) My daughter has chosen a liberal arts college because she's not positive that this is what she wants to study, and we felt it gave her a lot more flexibility.</p>
<p>i'm looking into architecture as well</p>
