<p>Hey there,</p>
<p>I was wondering which colleges offer an integrated dual-degree program in architecture and arch. engineering for undergrads(bachelors).</p>
<p>I know UT Austin has one, but I was wondering which of the other colleges, especially Cornell or Princeton or other Ivies, offers such a program.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>At Penn, you could do a double degree between the college and the school of engineering, though it would most likely take an extra year because of the added workload. I assume the same would be possible at Princeton, though neither of the undergraduate architecture programs are professional.</p>
<p>We have a degree program where you do BArch+MSE (joint between the College of Architecture and the Civil and Architectural Eng Dept.) It takes an extra year (total of 6), but you get a graduate degree and a professional arch. degree. I'm doing this at Illinois Tech. I'm in the third year of it so far...real engineering structures+studio is a challenge, but possible. IIT is respected in both architecture and engineering, just not all that well known outside Chicago.</p>
<p>laldm, </p>
<p>so you get a Barch, which I understand, but how do you get a MSE without first completing a bse? I'm a little confused.</p>
<p>I take structures classes on a higher level than the regular archie structures classes - that is, I take the same structures classes the civil/arch. engineers take. This allows me to have most of the same structures background they do upon entering the masters of structural engineering program. Technically, the first year of the MSE program is mostly remedial, usually for students that come from other engineering schools that don't have the right background - therefore, going from those structures classes straight into the IIT grad school requires only one year to finish it. Still, it does seem a bit short, and I get the feeling it still lets me skip out on a few requirements, not that I'm complaining. So, yeah, no BSE. Once I complete my BArch, I go directly to MSE.</p>
<p>Truth be told, the architecture school's structures classes are so pathetic that there are actually students that change to those higher-level structures just so that they actually learn something. The result is that those classes are about 1/4 archies, which allows for study groups and stuff, which is muy useful.</p>
<p>I don't know if any other schools have a program like this. IIT doesn't particularly advertise it (I learned about it well after starting my BArch), so they may well.</p>
<p>any other dual degree programs? I'd like for them to be professional.</p>
<p>PennState at University Park has a 5 yr. professional architectural engineering program. You apply to the engineering school.</p>
<p>thanks, but I was looking for dual degree programs!</p>
