I'm applying to M.Arch 1 programs for Fall 2013, and I am faced with the problem that I can't find any architectural history courses at my undergraduate institution.
Since most schools ask for at least one architectural history course as a prerequisite, does anyone have any ideas where I can take this course over the summer?
If everything else in your application merits your admission, you will likely be admitted with a requirement to take that pre-req history within the first semester.
it's hard to recommend a course of action since you didn't specify your location, but I'd say if there are art history courses you can take - do that. In fact, about half of the art history courses I took were fairly heavily concerned with architectural material because the two fields were typically aligned very closely in the past of most cultures.
I'm pretty sure that the architecture history course is the only one that I'm missing. I recently found that a summer course at Boston University may work for me. I'll definitely search for more available options :)

Architectural History Course
Hi Everyone,
I'm applying to M.Arch 1 programs for Fall 2013, and I am faced with the problem that I can't find any architectural history courses at my undergraduate institution.
Since most schools ask for at least one architectural history course as a prerequisite, does anyone have any ideas where I can take this course over the summer?
Thanks a lot!
