If I were you, I would be hesitant to let my son join a 5yr BArch program. It is a program that is quickly diminishing.
This is not true. There are plenty of five year BArch programs that are thriving and well known.

In order to be a certified Architect, one needs a Masters Degree first. Your son will have to go to graduate school another 2-3 years to get his MArch.
This is entirely not true. The two routes to becoming a licensed architect are EITHER a BA + MArch OR a five year BArch. Those with a five-year BArch need never to earn a MArch. The two routes I mentioned both lead to becoming an architect. A BArch or a MArch are both professional degrees.
