| a BArch is more intense because they are cramming the 4+2 into 5 years. if you really really want architecture, a BArch is the way to go. you graduate with a professional degree with no need to go back to school. you end up having significantly more studio hours in 5 years than with a BA/BS, and firms value that. if you get a BArch, you can choose to go onto your MArch II (you can only get an MArch II with a BArch degree, otherwise you just get your MArch I) but you technically dont have to becuase you already have a degree that fully prepares you for the licensing exam |
