<p>I researched arch schools a couple of years ago for my daughter, the only one I found with a straight 5-yr Masters was Tulane. At that time they required at least 2 HS studio art classes but the portfolio (which could include writing samples as well as visual art) was optional, but you’ll want to check on the current requirements. This could be a very opportune time to apply there as many may be wary of the status of huricanne recovery of NO in general and Tulane in particular. Good luck! p.s. also post a message on the architecture thread on the Other majors board.</p>
