<p>Hi, sorry to bother, but does anyone which of the top rated architecture schools puts the least emphasis and time on liberal arts and focuses on architetural technology? Also, which top rated programs can be accelerated? Thank you very much for your time!!</p>
<p>How about Cooper Union?</p>
<p>Cornell is the best......</p>
<p>thank you very much. i will be seriously considering both!</p>
<p>Cornell, Rice, WUSTL, University of Oregon, Syracuse, University of Cinncinati, and K-State.</p>
<p>Kinglin, is there a particular reason why you have selected that list?</p>
<p>I was wanting to go into architecture some time ago, and did a lot of research on it. These are among the top ranked architecture schools. Being that I am unaware of your GPA in such, I gave you a wide range. But some schools like cincinnati, which is easy to get into the school. Is hard to get in the architecture program. So check out there websites, and go visit the schools and see what you like.</p>
<p>"least emphasis and time on liberal arts and focuses on architetural technology"</p>
<p>I'd say most of the 5-year professional programs are like that. Unlike the 4+2 programs, you hardly have any extra time for a liberal art type of education as you have to squeeze all the archecture related courses in 5 years.</p>
<p>my picks (from greatest to least greatest)...</p>
<p>mit, cornell, rice, usc, notre dame</p>
<p>hi, can people please share their opinions on the schools they have chosen and Cornell, U cin, texas at austin, and cooper in particular? Thanks!!</p>
<p>For the specific criteria you have set, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is an absolute match. You'll have very little general ed requirements beyond arch studies. It is very practical/technical focused. Cal Poly has an "inverse curriculum" in that you start taking classes in you major as a freshman. An enroumous percentage of architects in CA come from Cal Poly, it is first rate. USC is also excellent as is Cal, but Cal is viewed as being very "philisophical" and analytical in its approach compared to SC and certainly as to Cal Poly. Cal poly's only downside is it doesn't have the big national name, but on the west coast, cannot be beat.</p>
<p>little general ed sounds very attractive~ thanks</p>
<p>"very little general ed requirements beyond arch studies"</p>
<p>not necessarily. Here's a link to cal poly's gen ed requirements.</p>
<p>Both Cal Poly campuses (SLO and Pomona) have terrific architecture programs. It's true that you won't get general name recognition on the East Coast, but the degree will be recognized by <em>architects</em> all over the country, and that's what really matters.</p>
