| The other thing to remember is that you have to participate in the Intern Development Program (IDP) through NCARB (National Council of Architectural Registration Boards) after you graduate. Depending on the degree you have, the number of years of IDP before qualifying to sit for the exam differs, but in terms of time, it's a bit of a trade-off. But archiemom is correct. Also, go for an MArch if there's some particular kind of research you'd like to get into or if you want to go more indepth in an intellectual pursuit prior to getting work experience. The first xx years of work experience are important (you'll learn things you don't get in school), but not necessarily 'intellectual'! |
