YSOA
As of now, i am planning on going to grad school to continue my studies of architecture. I have several options in mind, but where i really want to go is YSOA, Yale School of Architecture. The YSOA is my top choice because of the projects that the students get to work on. Each year the first year graduate students design a concept house. The best houses are boiled down to a select few, modified by the students, and then the best house is chosen. After the best house is chosen the students go out into an impoverished neighborhood to build the house, themselves! Now you may be thinking, "don't other institutions do that as well?" Well, yes they do. However thats not all that i like about the program. They're program assumes you have not designed before. It is a "from the ground up" system that is based on the methods behind problem solving. I like that.
Further more, they offer a unique degree called M.Arch/MBA which is pretty self explanatory. If any of you did not know already, i am minoring in business. That isn't the only dual major they offer with M.Arch. The YSOA has a very dynamic and flexible degree plan that is meant for you to get the most out of your education. Not to mention, their web site is fantastic!
