B Arch or M Arch
I'm thinking of going back to school to become an architect, current degree in unrelated field. Would it be more beneficial to go back for a Bachelors or Masters? Since I have the basics out of the way already both would take about 3 years. Reason I'm thinking about Bachelors is I don't have a portfolio and I've been out of the academic world long enough that it would be difficult to get references.
Check on the financial aid situation for second bachelor's degrees. When I was in school, the aid was very limited for second bachelors and much more plentiful for graduate degrees. I suspect a masters will make more sense if you already have a degree.
Consider taking some intro-level community college classes in drawing, sculpture, or computer illustration to generate some portfolio material and connect with teachers who can give you recommendations.
