| Just because the person who did undergrad at UMich didn't get into the MArch program there, doesn't mean that that route is not a viable one. I have a kid who is doing a BA in arch, not a BArch, and is applying to MArch programs, possibly including UMich. While I obviously do not know her outcome yet, peers of hers from her college who did a BA in Arch Studies have gained admission to MArch programs such as Harvard and Columbia and Berkeley. So, I would not go by the one example you were told about.
You could do a BA in architecture as an undergrad or a degree in civil engineering or arch engineering (taking some courses or a possible minor in architecture - BA - as well) and then go onto a MArch degree program.
For someone who is a bit undecided, a BA path may be perfect for you. |
