Q: (Initially posted on March 13, 2003) FROM MENTEE BAO C. IN CA
How long does it take to get a Master's degree in architecture?

March 17, 2003
A: FROM MENTOR SUZANNE FRANKS IN KS
Bao, Kansas State University has an excellent school of architecture.
You can learn more about it at http://www.arch.ksu.edu/
According to this web site, those who want to get a master's degree
in architecture must have an undergraduate degree in architecture,
which takes at least 4 years to complete. Then, most students
for the master's degree also have several years of professional
experience. The master's program is 30 credit hours so it would
probably take at least two years to complete. So, while the master's
program itself is relatively short (two years) you can count on at
least 5 or 6 years of education and work experience prior to starting
your master's program.
