But if you really can't stand that idea, then start reasearching architectual schools--contact firms in your area and talk to the architects about what schools they went to, then transfer your Jr year to the new school. good luck I agree with Dr S. get your undergrad degree in sturctural engineering and then go to grad school to get the architect’s degree.

It will be more worth an investment in the end. You can then go to architect school afterwards. I would go for the structural engineering degree. It will be more worth an investment in the end.
