Integrated Bachelor's/Master's Program???
Let me first start by stating my situation;

I'm an Architectural Engineering Major in a Community College, in my third semester right now.


Arch.Eng. is one of those programs that are only offer by a handful of institution of which only a few are actually accredited (About 16 if I'm not mistaken)

where I'm at right now, It's currently not offer in any institution, so going OUT-OF-STATE is inevitably imminent.


So I'm also really interested in Architecture, though not as much as in Engineering ("and please please please !!! don't come here trying to explain to me that Architecture and Architectural Engineering are 2 complete different thing because I already know that, I just happen to like both, ok") so I found some pretty good Integrated Bachelor's and Master's programs where you get a B.S. in Architectural Engineering and a M.S. in Architecture, which is great 'cause that basically means that I'll be able to get both licenses. So, I've decided that that's the way I want to go.

Only Problem Though is that I have only found 3 of those programs so far, one at UT of Austin, another at Cal Poly SLO and the other at Penn State if I'm not mistaken. and I honestly know that I won't get accepted in any of those places to begin with.

So do you guys know of any University/College that offers that kind of program where I could get a B.S in Arch.Eng and a M.Arch? Time is not really an Issue for me, I don't mind if the Program last 6 years or so

What University with this specific Program would you recommend me ??











P.S. my biggest fear right now is that after finishing my A.A. I don't get accepted into any program whatsoever(because most of the colleges that do offer Architectural Engineering are pretty selective with really low acceptance rate, and taking into account that First, I'd be an out of state, second: my gpa is pretty low "3.0 to be exact", and third, I'm an international Student, and after seen the thread about "transferring to a good College from a CC" it kind of brought me down. I can't imagine myself finishing my Associate of Arts degree yet not being able to continue my education, it juts scares me to death ('cause we all know that nowadays an A.A alone, it's worth nothing )

Penn State offers a master of architecture program, but it is not an accredited March so you would not be able to get your license based on that degree. They do have a BArch.
