<p>I agree with all that momrath wrote. I also agree that in the case of a BA path, the strength of the program is a much less important criteria in selecting the college. It wasn’t that big of a deal for my daughter how strong the BA major program was but more picking the entire school (as long as it had some arch). When picking a professional degree program like a BArch, THEN choosing the program is more important. So, for a BA, the school need not be strong in arch. Many undergraduate paths can lead to MArch schools.</p>
