<p>I mentioned this guidebook on another thread in the arch forum. It was at Barnes and Noble- titled the Fiske Guide to Colleges 2008 edition. In the front of the book ( of course the rest of it had very in depth overviews of numerous colleges and universities) was a breakdown of schools that are strong in different areas, architecture being one of them. It categorized the schools that had accredited arch programs, but also listed schools - publics and privates- large and small- that had pre-arch programs. I thought it was really helpful to start out with. Hope this helps!</p>
