Which schools are known for strong architecture programs?

I'm really interested in studying architecture and want to know which schools have the best programs. Does anyone have recommendations for top architecture schools?

Sure! There are several institutions known for their strong architecture programs. Here are some you might consider:

1) Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): Often considered one of the best architecture programs in the world, MIT's Department of Architecture focuses equally on design practices and the historical, theoretical, and social aspects of architecture.

2) Cornell University: Recognized for its intensive B.Arch. program, Cornell's architecture school emphasizes intellectual and creative rigor. This ensures students have a well-rounded comprehension of the field.

3) University of Southern California (USC): USC offers undergraduate and graduate architecture programs providing students with opportunities to design, build, and research.

4) University of California, Berkeley: Berkeley's College of Environmental Design is well-regarded, particularly their graduate programs. Keep in mind that Berkeley doesn't offer an undergraduate architecture degree, but it does offer an architectural studies major.

5) Carnegie Mellon University: Known for integrating technology and design, their undergraduate program offers several concentrations including design, history, construction technology, etc.

6) Princeton University: Princeton’s School of Architecture is known for its committed faculty and well-rounded approach to architecture. It offers an undergraduate architectural studies certificate and a graduate architecture program.

Remember to consider the different approaches these schools take to teaching architecture and examine which aligns best with your own learning style and career goals.
