Any opinions on the BAC?

Yes, I meant that you don’t have to have a BArch to become an architect as you can go on to get an MArch. My boyfriend’s professors at Columbia and Tufts have told him that most architects to the BA-MArch route, rather than the BArch one.

My boyfriend is a combined-degree with the SMFA student, so though he graduated with his Architectural Studies degree from Tufts, he still has the one year left to get his BFA. He’ll be spending the fall semester at the SMFA, and then will do his spring/final semester at SCI-ARC in L.A. as a visiting student (he’ll be able to combine his interest in fine arts with architecture there). He’ll probably go on to do a one-year stint at an architecture firm before returning to get his MArch.
