what do you need to be accepted at an architecture college?

I'd imagine fairly good designing skills and drawing skills enough to be able to draw out your designs.\nProbably a good GPA\nOh and an interest in the field

If you are looking from the artistic end learn perspective as it will make your buildings look real.  If you are looking at blueprints, than architecture programs.  In MN, the UM has a great program.

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.

There are only 4 accredited architecture programs in IL:\nIllinois Institute of Technology\nJudson College\nUniversity of Illinois at Chicago\nUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\n\nArchitecture programs seem to rely on DesignIntelligence for ranking but it's a bit pricey.  You can find more info here: http://www.di.net/archschools/schools.html

The requirements vary by state.\nLook for your state's Real Estate Commission online. They can advise you what the requirements are in your state, and list the currently available schools.  These may be community colleges, or privately owned schools. There may be many ways to meet the requirements. Compare carefully.\n\nTexas requires several courses, the last time I checked California required only one class, if I remember correctly.

First of all you need to be familiar with the role of UCAS, which is the body that controls all admissions to Uk universities and colleges, so if its a higher level course then you will have to go through here:\nhttp://www.ucas.ac.uk/\n\nYou can search on their site for courses and then visit the site of the particular institution for more details on their particular location, facilities, modules, etc etc.\n\nI am not aware of any particular place that has a fantastic reputation for photography courses but I would look at some of the more modern universities. In the late 80's/early 90's the former polytechnic colleges "rebranded" and became Universities but many of them retain their strengths in more practical subjects like the practicing arts, engineering and the like, rather than the older institutions which are reknowned for Literature, Languages etc etc.\n\nIn London the Central St Martins College of Art & Design has a fantastic reputation. My old flat mate studied there.. :-)\nhttp://www.csm.arts.ac.uk/

Since you are talking about a B.A., I can only assume you mean to start a college.  Thus, you are thinking about the regional accrediting agencies.\n\nActually, they don't have as much to do with the ways that certain classes are taught.  They do want certain things to be true of the degree plans that you offer, and they will have certain requirements for the faculty members teaching those courses.  They seek to maintain academic freedom, however, so the guidelines specific to individual classes are not overly strict.\n\nI teach at a college in Texas, so we are under the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).  Find out what the regional accreditation board is for California, then check out their website for the "Principles of Accreditation."

Architecture is difficult, and you may be very wise to think about it twice. The hours are incredibly long and it is hard to keep up with all the laws and changes, etc. It also is difficult finding a good-paying architectural position. \n\nWhy don't you look into closely related fields such as interior design, architectural rendering, etc. If you were drawn into studying architecture, you are most likely a very visual person - are you interested in art? \n\nListen to what your heart is telling you. Pay close attention to that because it is leading you, and don't listen to people who call you a loser. It's not true. It's better to ask questions and think twice before you find yourself locked into a career that is not satisfying.

I saw somewhere that the top architecture schools are Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Columbia, Notre Dame, Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon, Syracuse, Michigan, Cincinnati, Cooper Union, Georgia Tech, and Cornell. Unfortunately, I don't know the source.\n\nIn one 2003 survey, 148 architectural firm owners and partners were asked which schools best prepared students for the architecture profession. (You'll be happy to know that Syracuse ranked in the top 20).\n\nhttp://www.di.net/article.php?article_id=178\n\nYou might also want to check out the US News & World Report Rankings. On their website, go to "Rankings & Guides" menu. Unfortunately, I think you may have to pay for access.\n\nhttp://www.usnews.com/usnews/home.htm\n\nThere are also a couple of books out:\n\nAmerica's Best Architecture & Design Schools 2006\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Americas-Best-Architecture-Design-Schools/dp/0975565435\n\nGuide to Architecture Schools\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Architecture-Schools-Association-Collegiate-architecture/dp/0935502513/

I am pretty sure that you dont, I would ask the school that you are applying to. They should be able to tell you what is needed.

you should contact the college you are planning to attend and speak to a course counsellor. they can tell you everything you will need to know.

Usually you have to have a 2.0 GPA or better to enter a large university. Call the school office and ask to speak to an admission officer. You probably will have to be accepted.

for architecture, it won't actually affect you in the job world. all it says is that one is more techniccally based and one is more art based. UC berkeley is probably a bachelor of arts because it's more theory and book stuff. Cal Poly SLO, for instance (sorry if you aren't applying in California, but that's the area I know), would be more of a Bachelor of Science because it's more math and science. A BS is probably more likely to get you a job right out of school because you'll have more technical training. I, then, would go for the BS.

I wish starting was 40k.  It is on the coasts, but in the middle more around 35.  \n\nArchitecture is its own degree usally requiring 5 or 6 years (never less).  It is often one of the hardest degrees at a university.  For example at the school I went to only 30% of the kids who applied were accepted.  In first year we had 200+ students, we graduated 60.  \n\nHere's a good site: http://architecture.about.com/cs/careers/a/bearchitect.htm

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...

It depends. Review the admission requirements for the universities to which you want to apply. Some universities have a minimum GPA and SAT score requirement.

Well first you would need to get a college catalog and look up the requirements... or you can go to the department and seed if they have a breakdown of what is required. Sometimes advisors are not much help because they don’t really read the catalogs themselves... I would try to buy a catalog ( oh make sure its from the year you declared your major because some changes that happen may not be required for you) and then contact the dept  directly and see if they have an advisor there... have them help. What school do you go to... I am a college grad... my major was education. If you have any more questions... you can email me at ksk108@yahoo.com and just put something in the subject line so I will know its you!!\nGood luck... Also, if you give me the name of your school I may be able to find the catalog online.
