Davie, Some university and colleges have architecture studies or pre-architecture programs that focus on (obviously) architecture, but are not the same as B.Arch programs. However, you can still get into M.Arch programs with a liberal arts degree that does not specifically focus on architecture and, you are correct, Art studio and art history are a good place to start.

Some other colleges that have a good combination of art studio and art history are: Yale, Brown, Williams, Wesleyan, Vassar, Hamilton, Conn College, Skidmore, Kenyon. If you are female, Smith.

Along with taking art and art history you'll want to pick up some physics and math/calculus and do some interning over the summers in a professional architecture environment. Most colleges and universities have architecture counselors who will help you with the requirements for M.Arch programs and the M.Arch schools themselves also have information sessions.

In any event, be sure to submit a portfolio of your work when you are applying for college, even if you do not intend to major in studio art.
