Is this possible? lets say undergraduate at SCI ARC, Cal Poly or Pratt and then graduate at the AA or another UK/EU architecture university?

In the USA you only get BArch after 5 years.
In Europe you get BSc (UK part I) after 3 years.
and then MSc or MArch (UK part II) after another 2 years
BArch in the USA is a professional degree that lets you register as an architect - you can only do that with an MArch/MSc in Europe (either way = 5 full years education).
If you want to transfer out of US undergrad after 3 years and into a European MSc it will be very difficult to prove equivalency.
Your best bet is to finish the 5 year BArch in the USA and then do a 2 year MSc a few years later in Europe. I did this but then in architecture undergrad and landscape MSc, this allows you do work as both professionally.
