non-us degree

backbay

hi everyone,

i have a family member with an italian degree in architecture.  she wants to get a masters degree in the US.  can someone who's done this point me in the right direction for information as to how these things transfer?

from what i've heard, being an architect in italy isn't the best.  she's in her late 20's, does pretty much everything at her office, knows a lot, and gets paid what would be below minimum wage here in the US.  and i thought i was complaining!

Yes, Italy is terrible at the moment. And not just for architects. Anyone under 30 is having a pretty hard time. There's a reason other European capitals are filled with so many Italians these days.

As to your question, what are you looking for exactly? Most schools are used to receiving tons of international applicants, so this wouldn't be an out of the ordinary case for them. It's best to contact individual schools that you're (she's) interested in attending however, to get more precise answers. In general though, I'd say there's nothing stoping her from getting that masters.
