What do you feel is the best value B.Arch program in the United States? You could compare costs to benefits or just a substantially lower tuition cost between programs.
I've done a little bit of research thanks to the NAAB's website on B.Arch programs but haven't come to any solid conclusions yet.
1
Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y.
2
Syracuse University, Syracuse, N.Y.
3
California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, Calif.
4
Virginia Polytechnic institute and State University, Blacksburg, Va.
5
University of Texas, Austin, Tex.
6
Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kans.
7
University of Oregon, Eugene, Ore.
8
Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, R.I.
9
Rice University, Houston, Tex.
10
University of Southern California, Los Angeles, Calif.
Yeah, it's unfortunate that many states don't have a school with a B.Arch program, including my home-state of Wisconsin. Having to pay out-of-state fees can be a bummer.

university of florida has always been amongst the most well respected undergrad programs (full disclosure: i went there)
although UF doesn't have a B.Arch... in fact, i'm not sure that there are more than a handful of schools that still offer the b.arch.

What happened to the BArch at UW Milwaukee?
Cornell has the oldest B.Arch, so if prestige is of importance to you...
Make, I'm not sure when they last had a B.Arch program at UW-Milwaukee but they have the BSAS now.
