I've been thinking about other things that i can do to fall back on and two majors that stand out to me is liberal studies and women studies. they both have many things that you can do with either degree and for the moment you don't have to use it right away so i think that they can be good. personally I've chosen many different things to fall back on that i want to go to school for like event planning, interior design and different languages to go along with my teaching degree. it's all about options. look around and choose a degree that you will enjoy and that in being a stay-at-home-mom can do to help your children. when you are at home you can work from there doing interior design or event planning by having your own business. you can go to school for teaching as you will be teaching your children in some way shape or form even if they go to school. like i said, think of something you enjoy and then find out from a counselor if you can major in it or something similar. good luck and have fun!

Architecture is one of the few subjects that incorporates both the arts and the sciences and as such it's useful to have qualifications in both areas.\n\nThere are no hard and fast rules when applying to universities as they each apply their own set of entry requirements and your choice of art, design and maths would provide you with a good grounding.\n\nWith the advent of computers a lot of the traditional skills of the architect are not so much needed - drawings and designs are created electronically as opposed to sitting at a drawing board for hours on end.\n\nArchitecture also involves a lot of maths and physics.  You have to understand how structures work and be able to determine what will and won't work (and safely).  For example, it might look very nice to have a fancy cantilevered vieweing platform projecting from the side of a building but if it causes the building to collapse then it's not very practical; you'd have to calculate all the forces involved and design your building to accomodate these forces.\n\nThere's an article from The Independent that you may find useful... http://education.independent.co.uk/higher/az_degrees/article26969.ece \n\nGood luck with your A levels and future degree course.

Graphic Design is an extremely competitive major to get into in most colleges that focus on creative arts.  Once your accepted, the workload is quite large due to the fact that the school wants to mold you into a professional and creative designer so you stand out in the pack, which anymore consists largely of tech school and post high school students who learn Photoshop and start throwing things together.  \n\nAs a graphic designer for Highlights for Children, I can tell you that the designers I look at with full degrees always outshine those without a 4 year degree because they really excel under the pressure of studio based design. The less experienced designers fade into the boring realm of file prep and paper pushing.\n\nThere isn't so much bookwork per say, but you should have your nose in design books, and magazines getting inspired whenever you have a free minute.  I can remember leaving the design lab to get to a class early in the morning with no sleep and MAX stress more times than I can remember getting a good nights sleep with no worries.  If your serious an passionate about graphic design that go for it, but if your looking for a major to replace interior design because it is to difficult, graphic design is not going to give you much respite.  \n\nAlso ask yourself if you can survive now.  There is a reason your in interior design, right?  If you wanted to be a graphic designer you would have fought for that at the get go.  I am sure interior design has a large workload but if its what you want to do you need to ask yourself if it's worth really hitting it hard for four years and then becoming an excellent interior designer for the rest of your life.  I think that is a pretty good trade off, but I am not you.  No matter what your major is going to be, it will get hard and your life is going to be difficult for a little while.  But fighting through it and conquering the obstacles that are in front of you is exactly what that person in the interview who is going to offer you a healthy salary and benefits wants to know you can do.\n\nBest of Luck!\nL

A Designer -- Interior, Furniture, Home, Textile\n\nIt's just a dream...don't have the guts to pursue it though.  Fortunately, I have another dream that I have enough courage to follow through on...

Oooh!! Oooh!! Go to the Savannah College of Art and Design. I don't know the first thing about interior design, but I looked on their website and they do have an interior design program. I don't know how accredited the program is myself so you may want to ask around first. I am just recommending school in Savannah, GA to you because I grew up there and it is a beautiful place with a vibrant pace of life for a small southern city. You'd have a good time there. \n\nhttp://www.scad.edu/academic/majors/inds/index.cfm

A Bachelor's of Science in Chemistry is the minimum.  Beyond that, each field requires something different.  I am a paint and coatings chemist.  That requires organic chemistry for reactions, polymer chemistry for understanding the macromolecules being used, inorganic chemistry for pH adjustment of water-based systems, analytical chemistry for analyzing reactions and designing experiments... most of the things that the BS degree requires one to learn.  Plus some higher math skills.

No -- you don't need an associate's degree.  It is an irrelevent degree.  It merely means that you completed two years at a school that doesn't grant four year degrees.  If you spend two years at the worst community college in the country, you can get an AA.  If you spend two years at Harvard getting a 4.0 then leave -- you don't get a degree -- you are called a college dropout.\n\nMost students who get a BA or BS do not get an associate's degree first.\n\nTransfer as soon as possible.  Good luck.

I worked in the admissions office at a community (junior) college.  All you need is your GED to get the associates degree.  The diploma programs are certificates in a specific program field (such as fashion, interior design, entrepenuership) which takes less than a year to complete.  You do not want this because an associate degree is looked upon more favorable by employers- and even better, a Bachelor's Degree.  Just take the core classes need to get the associates and then decide later if you want to transfer to a four year college or university.  As long as you don't transfer out of state any four year college will take your associates degree and start you off as a junior.  I encourage you to keep going.  It will be worth it in the end.

I'd hope that you'd want to go into graphic design given your major. However, if you're thinking about an art history related career, you could consider the following:\n\n-museum work (registration, education, preparator, exhibition design -- generally not curatorial or upper administration without a graduate degree)\n-art gallery work\n-artist reprensentative\n-arts organization consultant

There is nothing set in stone. Every college will evaluate you differently. Drawing skill is the biggest plus that you can have when entering. Theory wouldn't hurt you, but they are going to want to teach you their own brand of it. Rememebering that Architectural programs, for the most part, are professional programs, you will probably need acceptable grades and a clean academic record. \n\nWhere are you planning to go to college? Feel free to email me of you need any help:\n\nmj12@email.arizona.edu

Perhaps you could contact a successful interior designer in your area and ask if they would consider mentoring you.

You will need to complete the full architecture degree course to become an architect. You can't become an architect from an architectural technician without doing the degree. Technicians can still earn good money though and are very important to architecture firms. Unfortunately it takes about 8 years at least to train to become a qualified architect.

In the US? Any 5-yr Bachelor of Architecture or 6-yr Master of Architecture Program will do (The degrees are regarded basically as equals). DO NOT choose a four-year program as you will have to do remedial work before your internship for licensure. Included in the links is a list of 5-yr and a list of 6-yr programs in the US. I personally attend the Univeristy of Arizona (5-yr) and love it. Peace out and good luck.\n\nP.S. The MArch can also be earned at an institution after a 4 year BS or BA, or a 5 year BArch but it not necessary for licensure if you have done a 5-yr program, and, by definition, takes longer.

You will have to earn either a 5-yr Bachelor of Architecture or 6-yr Master of Architecture Program degree from an NAAB accreditted institution. The degrees are regarded basically as equals. Following your degree you will need to completed 3 years of internship in the office of a licensed architect. After that, you will have NCARB ARE testing, 8 separate tests each with a pass rate of 66-75%. Then comes the process of licensure by a state board. \n\nDO NOT choose a four-year program for your undergraduate as you will have to do remedial work before your internship for licensure. \n\nIncluded in the links is a list of 5-yr and a list of 6-yr programs in the US.
