Summer Architecture Programs/Intensives for College Grads?

paintitblack

I've already graduated with a BA in another field, but would like to attend a summer intensive before applying to a M. Arch program. All the summer architecture programs I've found (with the exception of Parsons and SCI-ARC) are only open to high school students.

Does anyone know of any that are open to all education levels and not just pre-college students?

UC Berkeley http://www.ced.berkeley.edu/college/academics/summer-institutes/arch

UCLA http://www.summer.ucla.edu/institutes/Architecture/overview.htm

Oregon http://architecture.uoregon.edu/summeracademy -- Not sure if this is geared more towards architecture or environmental design

If you're interested in going abroad, this program in Copenhagen looks interesting: http://www.dis.dk/study-abroad-summer/courses/

Dude this thread is from 2012, of course there are missing/outdated links. She/he for some reason decided to resurrect it instead of making a new thread about her/his very specific and unique situation.
