My girlfriend is currently going to school for nursing. She is considering switching her major so that she can eventually get a masters degree in sustainable/environmental architecture. Currently she has about two years of credits under her belt, a few electives, algebra 1 and 2, health, biology, chemistry, anatomy, english 1 and 2, psychology, about 34-40 credit hours-but she has no architecture coruses under her belt. Does anyone know about how much longer she would have to go to school if she switched her major next semester?

Well, she’ll have to finish for her bachelor’s first, and it doesn’t sound like she’s gotten too far into nursing. It may cost her an extra year for her bachelors degree. Then, most masters programs take about 2 years. It will depend on how heavy a class load she can manage.
it sounds like she has just taken the college core. My guess if she takes full schedules she could get it done in two years (that may mean some summer classes). the important thing is to look at the entrance requirements for the grad schools she is interested in. generally specific masters programs like the one she wants will require certain courses that if she doesn’t have, she’ll have to take before she can begin her masters work. also find someone in the field or a professor in sus. design and ask them what courses they recommend.
