Looks like Kent State has a 4 year BS in architecture (not NAAB accredited) that allows for completion of a Kent State MArch (NAAB accredited) professional degree in 1 year after that.

Since any NAAB accredited architecture degree will take at least 5 years (BArch programs are 5 year programs, and MArch programs are 1-3 years after a bachelor’s degree), that makes the Kent State BS + MArch program at free tuition to be attractive for you in comparison to most other options that cost significantly more and/or take more time to complete the professional degree.

Be careful with debt, since it can limit your life choices, as well as be more stressful during an economic or industry downturn.
