I only have limited knowledge of the BAC (despite the fact that I study in Boston), but here is what I know. As others have discussed, the BAC allows one to work at a firm, as well as on their IDP hours. The greatest caveat to such a program is, while you will be obtaining technical knowledge, it doesn't delve into design theory or architectural concepts (which really are quite important). Also, (I could be wrong) but last time I checked, the BAC doesn't have studios. Finally, the entire structure of the program is very "loose" i.e. you can finish your degree in 9 years if you wanted, no academic is going to regularly check up on you. A point of concern I have for you is that it is 7+ years long; as you are just coming out of high school, are passionate and committed enough to stick around that long?
