US Based arch guy looking into MArch programs abroad? Thoughts? Insight? Help!
I have an undergraduate degree in architecture and need to complete a two-year MArch. I have been looking at schools stateside with opportunities to study abroad but would really like to go all my graduate work across some pond.
I have been looking at schools in the Netherlands, Australia, and South America. I have already fulfilled my IDP so that it not a concern. I am concerned, however, that it might be difficult to get licensed in the states with foreign degrees. I don't know if NCARB's "big scary test" is based on International Building Codes, etc.
Has anyone out there does this? Any suggestions on schools in the good old US that have great programs abroad?
Any information would be appreciated.

Very affordable, great faculty, heavy teaching in Parametrics and Urban Issues

I studied there for one semester and it was the best time of my academic career.
Why do you need to complete a two year MARCH??????? I have friends who with only a 4 year BS in Architecture became a licensed architect in California. There are other states that do not require a MARCH.
So again,why do you need to complete a two year MARCH?
I think I'm a thread killer.
Arri the thread assassin. Ha. I know that it varies from state to state. I have a 4 year degree for Environmental Design and unfortunately the states where I would like to practice require a masters for licensing. No bueno I know. College is fun and it would be great to go back instead of remodeling embassies here in DC. Also I think I would learn a lot in the Netherlands. Box architecture? Yes please.
Orrrr maybe I'm move to CA and forget grad school and say efff you to the man.
You mentioned that you finished your IDP. You also, mentioned that you work in DC
Well, DC happens to one of the jurisdiction that do not require Professional/ Master's degree to be a registered architect in DC!!! So you can be a RA in as quickly as you can pass the 7 exams.
Problem solved!!
Why don't you move to Costa Rica!! Picture this scenario, you living on the beach and studying for the ARE's. You study during the day and party like a king at night!!
After two months of studying you fly back to the US and take an exam. Travel back and until you pass all seven exams, this could take about a year!! Do it!!!
By the way I have a friend who just got back from Thailand where he trained for Muay Thai (kickboxing) for 2 months. The stories he can tell!!
You only live once!
What was your question I totally forgot thinking about Thailand?
