Undergraduate Degree

So I want to go to Graduate School for Architecture and currently I am attending UCSB and there is no undergraduate degree in Architecture. Is that necessary? Currently I'm trying to get a degree in Chemistry of mechanical engineering? Can I still apply for grad school or do most of the schools require an undergraduate education in architecture?

dreaming, see Soozie's response under the thread titled LAC Architecture. You can get into a masters of architecture program (MArch) with just about any undergraduate degree.

The common denominators are a strong portfolio and some art studio and art history courses. Some programs require undergraduate physics and calculus, some one or the other, some neither. Many MArch candidates have work experience in the field. Recommendations from your professors or employer are also critical.

Most MArch programs have very detailed websites about the type of student they admit and many offer on campus information days in which you can learn about the program in depth.
