I am currently a senior in high school. I graduate in a couple weeks and I'm still kinda confused about what to do.. I know I want to be an architect, being aware of how difficult this field can be. But I am between two different schools and two differenct programs. There is one that offeres a B. in Enviromental Design followed by a M. In Architecture (4+2). The other option would be an undergraduate B. Architecture (5 years) plus you graduate with a minor.
My questions are:
What are the main differences between the two? Pros-cons? Which one would you recommend?

Where is this and is the undergrad accredited?

So I'm from Puerto Rico and both schools are over here. The 4+2 one is the UPR system which is a public college but also the best system. And the other one is PUCPR, a private school which was recently accredited with a really good score

Do you want to be a licensed architect? If so, then stay away from all 4+2 programs. Waste of time. You'll be in bad debt; the +2 will be at graduate level, and you'll pay through the nose in graduate tuition and fees, for what is essentially one extra year.
Okay, so
