I have just graduated with a BA in Biology. I would now like to pursue a career in architecture. Do I have to go back to undergraduate school and start all over with architecture/engineering as my major or can I go straight into a masters program?

I think most schools will allow you to go directly into graduate school, but the program will be more difficult. Most school's website include information about students who did not major in Architecture.

i have a BA in Psych and want to do the same thing. i live in the bay area and i'm looking at local schools. UC berkeley has a program but getting in is almost impossible unless you did your undergrad in arch. there... academy of art university has a master's in arch. that you can apply to as well as ca. coll. of the arts............. those are 3 in the greater bay area. i know there must be others elsewhere. the boston architectural center on newbury street has an interesting conceptual program, check that out..

Technically you can just go into your Masters, the problem would be getting into the program and knowing what they are talking about once you are in a class. It would probably be good if you had some knowledge of architecture.

You can go directly into a Masters of Architecture program, but it will need to be a FIRST professional degree program. A second professional degree program is for people who already have a Bachelor's of Architecture degree. It is not a problem to have come from a different discipline. A first professional Master's degree usually takes about 3 1/2 years.
