Looking at the course requirements for a BArch it seems to me you would be hard pressed to fit enough business courses to do a double major, not to mention the workload implications. It might be possible in a four year program. My suggestion would be to go ahead and take as many business courses as you can fit in, but don’t feel the need to do a double major. If you like the courses then an MBA after a few years of practice might be a better option.

Do architects make a low amount of money? There are quite a few surveys online that you can find. However, compensation varies widely in the profession. The senior architects at the mid to large sized firms around the country are making a very nice living. The small firms, unless they have a unique niche, are significantly lower. Small practice does have its rewards; you have to choose what is important to you.
