<p>If you are in a BA program, now is perhaps the best time to pursue other fields you are interested in. if you plan on being licensed, it will be much harder to be studying other fields in conjunction with your M.Arch. However, there are plenty of M.Arch programs that offer a joint MBA/M.ARCH program…though i can imagine that it would be longer than the typical M.arch program.</p>
<p>Though i’m sure pursuing a degree like engineering or MBA might be useful in some aspect of architecture, it is probably not worth your time, unless you really plan on switching out of architecture and doing something different later on. </p>
<p>i also plan on pursuing a different degree (masters in real estate development) for my grad (I’m pursuing a b.arch right now) but it is also very related to the architecture profession since there are architects out there who develop as well. it is also a good back up financially speaking. </p>
<p>B.ARCH (5) + MSRED (1)= 6 years…for two professional degrees…not bad</p>
