Hey,

Just asking if majoring in architectural studies in a regular liberal arts college is worth anything in terms of getting a career in the field? I know that most people who become architects apply already in their udergrad to a specific architecture school/program which are usually incredibly selective in terms of who they admit. In my case I got into a good liberal arts college but my application qualified me to major in everything from chemistry to anthropology and from philosophy to art history. Theres basically everything you can imagine. The major of architectural studies just caught my eye since I might be interested in that. However, I haven’t done anything architecture related prior and since the major is open to everyone who just manage to get into the most general school I wonder if majoring in architectural studies in my school would be worth the money? Would the major just be laughed at or could it actually give me a chance to get into a good architecture grad school?
