Searching for a grad program
Could someone help!!! I am an undergraduate in a humanities field (art history). I am interested in continuing with a MA in Architecture. I have been searching around and there is the option for individuals without architectural or design background to do a three year program. I would like to stay in California and I have three schools in mind: The Academy of Art University, The California College of the Arts, and UC Berkeley. I know AAU and CCA graduate programs are under candidacy. Those two schools do not require a background in calculus and physics as does Berkeley, what all three of them require is a portfolio. Does any body have suggestions? And why AAU and CCA don't require this math to be completed before applying? Also I know Berkeley has a big program, are AAU and CCA smaller? I would like to be in a smaller program.
Thanks for any information.
What you need is to post some specific questions on the highly successful Archinect Guide to Grad Schools: Berkeley thread. Good luck.
I hate to say it because of all of the bashing it has gotten on the discussion board, but NewSchool, in San Diego, offers the 4+3 program. The school is still suffering some growing pains, but it might be something you are interested in.
Hope this helps.
Now, I will step aside and make room for any critiques that might come...
Berkeley seems a good fit in that you may also be able to continue in some way with your art history degree. And do you mean to say you're interested in the MArch degree? An MA in Architecture, while possible, will not allow you to practice. If practice isn't your intent, then check again with these schools, as their MA programs (do they really have MA programs?) may be post-professional, in which case you wouldn't be eligible.Berkeley is by far the best of the schools you mention, then CCA.
