Hi all, I'm currently finishing up my bachelor's degree in business this year and am looking to pursue grad school for architectural design. I did find out recently that, even with a master's in business, I can pursue graduate school for architecture. However, I was wondering if there are online programs that could speed up the process of the normal 3-year plan. Not to mention, the price of graduate school is steep so I wanted to see what my options were. I looked online as well and a lot of the online programs require a B.A. in architecture to become a graduate student. I thought there would be a way to become licensed and educated without a master's, but I'm not seeing any options like that. 

Additionally, I was recommended to start a portfolio. Recently, I've just been watching youtube videos on design software (rhino) to educate myself and get a head start before my masters. I was wondering if any of you have other recommendations regarding videos, softwares, books, etc. to prepare myself. I'm all ears right now and could really use any help I can get. Thank you!
