<p>I'm comparing Tulane's and Syracuse's curriculum and noticed both programs take 5 years to complete. Most, if not all, are the same type or equivalent class level to the corresponding year.</p>
<p>So why is Tulane's a masters degree and Syracuse a bachelors degree, if they're both first-time professional degrees?</p>
<p>because the system is faulty--- and the degree names are starting to mean very little.</p>
<p>I've always wondered about Tulane's March as well. </p>
<p>There are some differences. I picked some random Barch programs to compare:Syracuse 162, Penn State 162, Temple 157 and Cornell 147. </p>
<p>Tulane's March is 172 credits - probably not as many as a preprofessional plus 2 which would be more like 190 at least, but more than some Barchs. Also, Tulane requires two 12 week summer internships as a graduation requirement. </p>
<p>The NAAB has accredited Tulane's program as an M.Arch, so there must be some reason. I'm also wondering how many students graduate from Tulane's program in 5 years?</p>
<p>Anyone else???</p>
<p>cornell is 179. if it were 147 i'd already be out of here!</p>
<p>oops sorry. When I went to Cornell's curriculum page I added up required dept courses, dept. electives, college electives and out of college electives and it added up to 147. I thought it seemed to good to be true. I went back to look at the top of the page forthe semester by semester breakdown and it adds up to more. I'm too lazy to figure out what the discrepency is. </p>
<p>That being said, I wonder if Tulane's "undergraduate masters" is a true graduate degree. For example let's say someone wanted to go back to school for their doctorate in say art history or some other related field.</p>
