<p>if you planning on going into facility management, real estate etc rather than working at an Architecture firm, I would think a BA or BS in Architecture (rather than a 5 year B Arch OR an M Arch) would be sufficient. If you want to become licensed and work for an Arch firm, you will need the 5 year B Arch, or you will need to follow up the 4 year BA/BS in Arch with an M Arch.</p>
