In the US, the two very best are The Fashion Institute of Technology, and Parson's School of Design. Both are in NYC. They are among the top programs in the world.

For architecture schools a lot depends on your grades.  In many schools architecture is the most competitive major.  \n\nBe sure that you go to a school with a 5 year or 4+2 program.  You do not want to be "pre-architecture."  That qualifies you for nothing.  I did a 5 year program at Ball State (good program) but many schools are switching to Masters instead of Bachelors, but honestly, most firms know someone with a 5 year B-Arch is as qualified (sometimes more) then someone with a Masters, so that should not be your guide.  \n\nI agree with the above schools.  But here is my advice on finding a good school.\n\n I'd stay away from "big names."  You need to be taught by real professors in studio classes and not by grad assistants.  Where ever you go look for that.  Also look for a school that leaves the building open 24-7, closing an architecture building at 12 or 1 is a huge pain for students who have to bring drawings and stuff home to finish (all nighters are normal for architure students from year one.)  Look for a school that offers cross displinary minors worked into your cirriculum, so often architecture majors never get to take classes outside their major, pretty depressing.  Look for a school that offers classes on "sustainable" architecture.  \n\nThen get ready to work your butt off.... and have the time of your life...

Depending on the dates, you might be able to attend a Chicago school for a semester. It really depends on the timing, though.

I'd have to say A&M, although I'm biased because I went there. I wasn't an architecture major, but I'm interested in it and I enjoyed taking an architecture class and independent study project there. I had a friend who did arcitecture there who is in grad school at Yale now, so they seem to prepare people well. I don't know much about the other school, although Chicago does have some historic influence in architecture.

University of Cincinnati.  I have 3 friends who went there and are now architects (very successful ones, at that!).

I don't think that anyone rates these schools. They can also be broken down by specialties such as broadcast or print or electronic. Generally, Columbia and UC Berkeley have the most prestigious/best graduate programs and Northwestern has the best undergrad program.

You can download a list of colleges accredited by the NAAB - the National Architectural Accrediting Board - at this site:\nhttp://www.naab.org/cal_cat1724/cal_cat.htm\n\nThere are about 60 such schools. Please don't waste your time attending an architecture school that is not accredited by the NAAB.

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.

check out the website for the University of Illinois in Champaign or Chicago. It is an excellent school with lots of prestige, yet not as pricey as some. Champaign is a good one because the town is not real large, yet it's a wonderful town. www.uiuc.edu
