Advice on applying for M.Arch from non-arch degree
Hi,
I am currently 2nd year Civil Engineering program and interested in applying for the 3-year M.Arch program in the States. I wonder if anyone can give some advice esp on the portfolio? Is it the best to complete my portfolio in 3rd yr or start doing some creative work from now on since my workload is pretty heavy.
Oh and last ques, I don't know if this is a sound decision at all. Getting licensed is gonna take appox 5 years while earning substantially lower income than being a Structural Eng or Civil Eng in other fields. And I heard there isn't much financial assistance in the M.Arch program.
THanks
cfso1952,
i would use the search feature, as this has been discussed many, many times. Every aspect of this question has several pages already written on it in this forum. Id use that google search for key words and then frame a more specific question later if you cant find exactly what your looking for.
this is for your own good, people here get pretty testy about the grad school threads
You should def. work for a year or two in civ. e and SAVE. well, imho.
and going into arch, esp. from Civil Engineering, is like going into the arts: you've gotta love arch. more than $$
and if you start working in civil at least you can go back to it if you don't like the $$ - Cecil Balmond is an engineer. I think Calatrava is too.
don't do it
