isn't columbia's post professional a 3 semester, but one calendar year program?

= B.Arch, and it doesn't need the quotes. Be proud of your degree, it's an excellent achievement and a very rigorous curriculum !

Syracuse used to have a one year, post-professional, MArch based in Florence. Does that still exist?

I'm just curious. If you already have a professional degree, why are you asking this question? If you're thinking of returning to school, what is your purpose in pursuing the Masters degree?

From my research, there are about 70 or so post-professional architecture degrees offered by institutions in the U.S. Typically, they are called Master of Science in Architecture but often are referred to by Master of Architecture (this is not the accredited degree which causes confusion.)

BlueGoose -- Individuals with a professional accredited degree would pursue a post-professional degree to specialize in a field of the discipline. In addition, graduates with a BArch perhaps desire a graduate degree to be able to teach of eventually pursue a doctoral degree.

In addition to post-professional degrees in architecture, there are many degrees in related fields. Search -- www.archschools.org -- as another resource.
