Architecture school in the United States refers to university schools and colleges with the purpose of educating students in the field of architecture. ==Professional degrees== There are three types of professional degrees in architecture in the United States: *Five-year Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) *Six-year Master of Architecture (M.Arch) *Doctor of Architecture (D.Arch) Non-professional degrees include (require a Master of Architecture for licensure): *Bachelor of Arts in Architecture (BA) *Bachelor of Science in Architecture (BS) *Bachelor of Fine Arts in Architecture (BFA Arch) *Bachelor of Environmental Design (B.Envd or B.E.D.) A non-professional degree typically takes four years to complete (as opposed to five years for a Bachelor of Architecture) and may be part of the later completion of professional degree (A "4+2" plan comprises a 4-year BA and a 2-year Master of Architecture). The 5-year BArch and 6-year MArch are regarded as virtual equals in the registration and accreditation processes. There are also M.Arch programs for those with undergraduate degrees in areas outside architecture; these program typically take six or seven semester (3 or 3.5 years) to complete. Other programs (such as those offered at Drexel University, Boston Architectural College and NewSchool of Architecture and Design) combine the required educational courses with the work component necessary to sit for the professional licensing exams. Programs such as this often afford students the ability to immediately test for licensure upon graduation, as opposed to having to put in several years working in the field after graduation before being able to get licensed, as is common in more traditional programs. Some architecture schools, such as Florida International University, offer the Master of Architecture degree in an accelerated five-year or six-year format without the need of a bachelor's degree. There is currently an ongoing debate to upgrade the 3.5 year M.Arch title to D.Arch both for current students and retroactively for 3.5 year M.Arch graduates. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Architecture school in the United States」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
