Top 10 Architecture Schools in the United States

Introduction

_{Top Architecture Schools in the United States}

Today we will talk about the top 10 architecture schools to attend for your Undergraduate degree in the United States.

I am talking about the schools that generally prepare their students for the architectural world and how to thrive in the professional environment. So overall how they came up with this list is they analyzed the faculty and how esteemed are they.

The students and their personal experience the facilities. That the students had access to while they were learning because ultimately the goal here is pure education with architecture.

I’ve noticed a general problem that a lot of architecture students might have experienced is that they are so keen on software model making and so on.

But they still have that limited knowledge on how to communicate with other people. So communicating with other architects communicate with other people in the field of interior designers.

Other clients that kind of thing so I think this is one area that all schools can improve upon but just keep that in mind and lastly before we get into it all schools. I’m mentioning for their successful undergraduate architecture degree programs are accredited by the national architectural accrediting board.

I just wanted to let you know that majority of these graduates from the colleges that I mentioned when they got out in the working world. Majority of them preferred to be self-employed so I think these schools do a fantastic job of teaching architecture.

It gets your creative juices going. I think it gets kind of disappointing. When you go into the working world and it’s not as creative as your undergraduate or graduate degree just keep that in mind
