- These top tier architecture schools were featured in Design Intelligence's study of 2020. These architecture schools essentially similar principles/laws and rules regulation (along with a NAAB approval sticker), but today, lets talk about acceptance rates, locations, and tuition prices of these top tier architecture schools in the united states. These institutes makes them better and better everyday and that why they are the top ranked in the architecture field.

Think about these before attending and/or selecting and/or applying to an architecture school:
- Find out who is going to be teaching you - large urban schools tend to draw a lot of working professionals instead of smaller ones - so you can get a better idea of the profession
- See if you can tour the architecture facilities. Do they have laser cutters? 3D printers? Will they give you a computer and/or software? Try and walk through studios!!
- Set your own personal goals as to what you want to accomplish with the major
Are you looking to teach?
Do you just want to be licensed?
- Do you want a pre-professional degree which requires a M.Arch degree in order to be a licensed architect? OR, do you want a professional degree and then go straight to practicing architecture at a firm? Some schools offer 4+2 programs, some offer a 5 year program. Do you research!!!

Awesome video!! Great advice, a lot of people going into architecture school had no idea about accredited programs, and things like that 😱
Professor Perri has a ring to it. Already learned so much. Thank you.
AHH i love this! Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing this very useful information. Keep up the good work. Architecture is a very interesting field and it can be very rewarding.
Lovingggg this video of yours natalie
So proud I graduated from UT Austin🤘🏻 Thank you for sharing this
In architecture?
Hey, love the videos! Can you make a 'architecture schools that don't require an undergrad portfolio' next?
ok, you mentioned it. MAKE SURE YOUR SCHOOL IS GETTING YOU THE Barch. 4 year professional degrees are nice, but you will HAVE to continue on. My daughter is graduating this year (school in pa not on this list) and as i come from a construction background, i can see that she received a good education. She intends to go to grad school and has been accepted to Cornell, amongst a few others. REMEMBER, in Architecture school you learn creativity. You don't learn the business. Especially if you intend to go into commercial construction arena, make sure you gobble up every course you can about contract administration and specifications. They're usually electives and are more important and will prepare you better for the real world once you get out of school. And first yera of the Barch program, is basically let's see who really wants to be an architect. 50% typically drop out of the architecture programs.
Totally agree with you. Along with design students should be taught the business as well. Which school has she graduated from ?
@@AK_333 She went to undergrad at Marywood in Scranton Pa. She is at Cornell now focusing on historic preservation.
@@leftoverporkchop9972That’s great!
@@leftoverporkchop9972I am most likely going there for architecture next year, would you recommend it having a daughter who graduated from there?
@@thatthangbestankin I would certainly recommend visiting the school to see if it fits you and your expectations. I think the program was good, and as i am in the construction industry, i was able to have my daughter intern at our company. It was extremely beneficial for her to see how things happen in the "real world", and from the other side of the table, the Contractors.
Love your video ❤️
I’ve had my eye on University of Texas at Austin, it’s awesome that it was on your list
Hey! I go to UT right now, it’s a great school. I’m planning on making a tour and more UT stuff once I get back to campus!!
Natalie Perri I was living in Colorado about a year ago and they have an architect program (University of Colorado at Denver, since they got the one everyone knows that’s in Boulder, and the one at Colorado Springs) I got accepted and was almost going to go, and although I was happy, I wasn’t truly happy. Now I live in Texas and live really close to it so I’m putting all my effort into getting into the SOA there. Rice is my second option. Here in San Antonio we got UTSA, but none catch my eye like UT Austin.
@@franciscolopez5359 Honestly I can’t find any good videos that really make Ut austin’s arch program shine, I really want to go to a good school for my last 2 years
Architecture schools can be design centric (RISD) or almost civil engineering programs ( U of Oklahoma). Syracuse fostered a broad approach with the largest university art school on campus also at SU a large engineering school too.
Gawd i LOVE YOUR INTRO🙌🏽
Thank you so much!
I think I heard that before somewhere else
OOMG I remember now it's wildly wonky theme oh my GAWD
What did you think of the Larch program at OSU? Were you part of the Scholar community?
Can you do a video for best master architecture program’s?
Nice vid!!
Hey natt if u r seeing this comment plz reply. Can u make a video on the schools that have architecture department for international students and provide scholarships plz?
Please make a video about accredited universities in the US
Hi!! I have a question, is NYU good for architecture?? Is just that is my dream school but I don’t know if I would get as prepared as these schools
I am assuming US university yearly costs include student housing? In Aus I pay around 50k aud total for 5 years of bachelors and a masters degree as a percentage of my pay when I get employed.
Thank you!!! One reason I may not apply to RISD is that they don’t have ACs 😂😂 yesss it matters!!
UMich, SCI-arc, USC, Syracuse I will add a few more tho :)
Yessss! I sure will! Thank you always for your help! Absolutely loveee your videos ❤️
This video is awesome. Do you know of a site that ranks all of the undergraduate NAAB schools from 1 to X ?
@@UnravelingArchitecture that's what I thought as well...thanks for responding!!!
good luck to you!
#9; made it into the top 10. Nice.
Hello Nat, I wanted to ask about a BFA in architecture. I recently finished my 4 year undergrad from SCAD and wanted to know if that type of degree counts as a pre-professional degree or not. Thanks again and really enjoy your videos!
Hi Darrius! I would check with NAAB or SCAD directly. If it's a undergrad degree, like a BS Arch, you'll probably need to go to grad school anyway.
I go over types of degrees in architecture here: ruclips.net/video/dCqqiLtHXK4/видео.html
I also go over the entire accreditation process if youre confused about anything here: ruclips.net/video/s0gTksyc5hU/видео.html
Don’t take my word for it but according to my knowledge a B’Arch degree from a school that is accredited from the licensing board is good enough.
How good is the architecture program at USF Tampa Campus? I have to choose between USF's SACD vs UC. Can anyone help me? I am an international student
Hi! I’m a graduate of bs architecture in the philippines. We’re planning to migrate and I was wondering if I need to take another 5yr program of bs architecture in the states to be able to take the licensure exam there? Or should I go straight and pursue a masters degree instead? Thanks! ❤️
I think you'll only need a masters
Do you know if University of Arizona and University of Oregon is good for architecture? I’m so mad I’m now seeing this I wish I would have seen this before so I would have have more options
Hi may I know what are you doing now because i am also interested in these universities and there are others too it's very confusing....
Ohh ...you really gave me good idea about usa...... I am from india ....i drop out barch school in india because it suck alot ....very waste college .....now i am doing business degree here ....and now i have many options ....
Law , mba but i am still thinking about barch ....what you guys think who read this comment
Hi awesome videos
You mentioned to make sure that the undergrad school is accredited. Would that be the same case for a Master's Degree if you were going to make a career switch from a different profession?
Hi Natalie!! How you do your audio.
It sounds dope.
@@UnravelingArchitecture thanks Natalie.
Wish you grow big 🌻
Hey I think in video you mentioned about transferring credits can you tell more about it?
this depends on your schools! I would email a counselor at your school to see how the process works.
i'm a current undergrad at CU, best choice i've ever made
cu denver? or cu boulder ?
CU DENVER?!?!? that’s where I’m going
@@goatmodegamingno sorry, Cooper Union
@@shbjeelol alright good luck
@@goatmodegaming thanks I graduated already actually! best of luck to you
Please make some spring and fall intake universities please
Anyone who's attending B.Arch at Illinois Tech? I'm going there this spring and would be nice if someone could give me some more insights on this school's architecture program! ^^
Hi may I know what are you doing now because I am also interested in illinois tech can you help...
what do u think about umass amhert for architecture? btw appreciate ur vids !!
I checked on the website and it is accredited but it doesn't specify if its for graduates or undergrads. thank you for your response and help I'll probably email the school and ask even tho I'm still a junior in hs :)
M Arch only. Always check schools through the naab.org website.
hi! ik this is an extremely late response but I was accepted to umass for architecture bfa (they don’t have another kind of bachelors degree for architecture, many other schools give a BS). this was back in 2017 so this might have changed since then. I didn’t have a great experience so I changed majors within a few weeks, but if you reeeaaally love to draw and have a creative mindset then you might like their program. my class was small and barely focused on stem, the program heavily focused on art and art history hence bfa. the school does have great architecture on campus! it really depends on why you want to go into architecture and your plans after graduating. if you’re more of an art person then this program could be a great fit, but don’t expect to be immersed into the sciences as much as other programs would
wow your eyes are so pretty
what about north carolina state university? i just committed there for architecture this fall, and their program isn’t super well known because the architecture program is really small
I would like to know about your experience at NC State...I was just accepted to UNC - Charlotte School of Architecture for this fall. NC State was an option for me but both of my professors at Forsyth Tech's Architectural Technology program (both Architects) went to UNC - Charlotte and had only great things to say about it.
Hi, Nat! I am rishi a high school junior from India.
I want to pursue architect as a major. I just want to ask, is physics a mandatory subject. cuz I don't have physics. So, could help me here??
What is the acceptance rate based on? Everything I read indicates Cooper Union is below 10% acceptance rate.
How can we get scholarship in foreign universities how much grades do we need in high school
Can you help me, Woodbury university is good for architecture?
Nice picture, of wild dogs!
Hey I have done by bachelor's of fine arts from India and would want to do masters in architecture in the us. If I am eligible then what are the requirements?
Same .....i want to know too
Anyone know about UC Denver? I think that’s where imma go
In Chicago there are good ones? i'm about to get my degree in Colombia, and i would love to do my masters there :)
Chicago University is a great university and don’t require SAT or ACT test.
@@davider3590 for real ?
@@Chicanita2400 Yes, Chicago University doesn’t require them. However they look at another items to determine your admission. (GPA and portfolio) and it’s very hard to get accepted.
I got admitted but at the end I chose Pratt because I was already living and working in NYC.
Is universality of Florida good for architecture?
Hii, I'm too Architecture but a living Kyrgyzstan
My daughter got full ride to DAAP University of Cincinnati and the OSU Knowlton. She also got into UVA without aid yet. We will take her to visit those school to get acquainted. Could you give me some suggestions?
I went to osu! Loved it! DAAP has a wonderful reputation too and is well connected to firms in Ohio! UVA is technically higher ranked but honestly it doesn’t really take you that much farther (coming from someone who has more debt because I opted to go to an ivy)
My best suggestion is to visit all the schools and have your daughter feel them all out. Whatever one she feels most connected to, she should go there. Go on the feeling
@@UnravelingArchitecture Thank you so much for your quick reply! My daughter was at an architecture summer camp for 2 weeks at Knowlton two summer ago. It helped to narrow her interests down to architecture and civil engineering (as a back up plan. )
If you are going to visit UVA then you should visit VaTech as its just a few hours southwest and has a top ranked BArch program. Receiving a BArch position her to sit for her license without any further education. I have a little bias as I am an Alum from VaTech and I loved the design lab experience and visiting professors. I also attended the WAAC extension and they offer study abroad opportunities. Another thing to note when visiting these schools is look at the other design programs (i.e. Landscape, Urban Planning, Building Construct, Interior) as she may want to complement or change her study focus.
Artif-- combat zone, I was taught! and fight in! Middle East! ARCH-- Native Indian-- I'm with, these Indians!
;ove this ,I am from Nepal, can you personally suggest me a university in which i can get scholarship,
What about Oregon University, San Francisco School of Architecture?
Eugene Oregon is a nice small town.
Do they offer master program too?
Why did you not mention Yale?
Where is the source of this ranking? Design Delight?
Hey I was wondering about MIT and Berkeley???
I’m pretty sure that Berkeley’s undergrad degree is not accredited, but that doesn’t mean “the degree counts for nothing” like she said. You can still work at an architecture firm after graduating with your bachelor’s, but you can’t practice independently. Berkeley’s master program however, is accredited. Hope this helped!
@@lemonsquibs helped a lot thank you!
Is university of arizona good for architecture?
@@UnravelingArchitecture thank you so much
I am struggling with my profolios for college, can you please give us the detail for that 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏
And also please can you rate university of oregon if it right ✅ for architecture with a bachelor's degree of 5 years
To me, I have sci-arc and weitzman arch in Univ of Pennsylvania 1 and 2
Heyy I hope this finds u well!
I just got accepted to BU for architectural studies.
I’m hoping to pursue my career in architecture (environmental architecture) I’m not really sure about their program and how convenient it is.. any advice?
Hey Natalie, how is Boston Architecture College (Boston) for undergrad?
really great school!! Did you get in?? Congratulations!!
Thanks for the quick response. Not yet but planning to go there. Your videos are very informative. Thanks for uploading them
go cuse!
hii ... honestly i don`t even know if u`ll read this but....i am currently 17 years old ... born in india ... so i have taken maths in high school but not physics and chemistry ... can i pursue architecture abroad ... cause in india pcm is required to do so ..... please give the list of universities or colleges i can apply to without these subjects.... thank u so much
@@UnravelingArchitecture thank u ❤
Do you need a portfolio to apply to Columbia?
I believe so but check their website. If you don't want to apply to a school that requires portfolios check out this video: ruclips.net/video/d6HO7KwFxV4/видео.html
No cmu?
you are wonderful. please help me to study my son architecture online. any university cheap online i am in syria
Personally many people i know transferred from Pratt to NJIT because they did not like the education they were getting there. I also applied there but decided against going.
Also NJIT is accredited for New Jersey people!
what made you decide to not go in the end ¿
What softwares u use or learn at school for modeling & visualizing.
Hey Birhan! Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/BGdT7McqZ1A/видео.html
You might want to give the Newschool of Architecture + Design in San Diego a look. Both BS or MS degree and they recommend you get your basic requirements completed at a school offering an associate degree. They also teach the core curriculum there but because it is a professional school, those classes are pricey. If you are a veteran, NSAD accepts the VA yellow flag program. They also have degree programs in interior architecture, product design, media design and construction management. They are accredited by all the proper agencies too.
Newschool has the BArch and M Arch, don't use the terms BS and MS. It just gets people confused about what is required in order to get licensed.
👍
I thought university of california, berkeley would be in the list
They have a good graduate program but do not have an accredited undergraduate
Cooper union undergrad, represent!
How is it?
@@jordashw6541 I graduated in March in the arch program, I still look back really fondly
Harvard n mit aren't top 10!!???.... Pls reply.... I I'll be really greatful
@@UnravelingArchitecture ohhh.... U really cleared my doubt.... Thank you so much for replying back♥️♥️.... This was really helpful 😊😊
Oh Hey Natalie! O-H!
HAHAHA Hi Gabe!!!!!!!!! Fancy seeing you here
@@UnravelingArchitecture lol. Your vid popped up in my recommended and I was like, Hey I know her!
where is UC Berkeley & UCLA?
Bay area and L.A. Both in California.
Come with me, an youll see a world of imagination. That's the lyrics for your intro an willy wonka's theme isn't it
Yes!!!!!! Great ear!!!
Cornell is good. Don’t come to sci-arc. It’s a warehouse, not really a university.
lol
It’s Cooper, not Copper. :)
I'm ~embarrassed~ haha thank you for correcting me(:
100% acceptance rate in sci-arc?? :o
Don’t think it’s possible. B.arch was not easy to get in. Don’t know about m.arch. But they are really overrated.
I am from Bangladesh. I am undergraduate student. I want to study usa.
Can you help me low price cost find University.
tuition costs are all available on the school's websites
@@UnravelingArchitecture thank you for your message
Cooper Union, NOT Copper Union.
apologies!
Where you find a job tho
Is it like q website or place?
Your university is probably going to use something called Handshake. I recommend using that network and search for jobs there! It's a great resource. Also LinkedIn is another way to find firms and network with employers. I made a video about how to get hired here if you want to check it out: [ ruclips.net/video/2Z4ZyU3Atjc/видео.html ]
Networking is really important because it can lead to a job. I have been able to network and then get hired because I had a more personal approach to the hiring process in architecture. I hope this helps! I go over everything in the video though, so it can probably serve as a better explanation of the whole process!
@@UnravelingArchitecture thank you although I,m not old enough yet I want to be sooo much in future! I want to make life worth it
To me Sci-Arc is the best
My worst..
There not even the best in California. I would say their behind Cal Poly SLO, USC, and Cal Poly Pomona in undergrad. And for Masters their behind UCLA, UC Berkeley, and USC in California.
No Princeton, Yale, Harvard or Columbia? Too intellectual?
Obviously you did not go to those schools as she explained the criteria for ranking and who provided the poll in the beginning of her video.
@@michaelsd284 I personally know instructors and brilliant alumni from each one and I have seen their student work. I also know quite a bit about Cornell, SCIArc, Rice from visiting their architecture programs. I attended UT Austin and Notre Dame so I also know about both architecture programs. In the end these ratings are going to be subjective, as different schools have different emphases in their approaches to teaching design.
@@rr7firefly Agree, typically these types of "Best" rankings are subjective. I was just a bit put off by your statement "Too intellectual" as it came across as a slight to those schools on the list. All the schools you've identified have good programs and approaches which is fantastic for creative minded people so they can find a program that best fits them.
Pan-- Japanese for: Gay! Gay people blood-- Pan dem ic!
Conell better prepare you at 32k a semester. Neraly 400k for a BA in Arch. Lol
yeah the cost and length of time required to become an architect is insane!
How is USC not on here? 🤡
Apparently due to not making the top 10 for the criteria explained in the ranking.
