Architectural history - a reconsideration

Liz, Kris, and Stephen all got into grad programs at Chapel Hill - Liz for bio, Kris for physics, and Stephen for social policy? Kris has decided on Chapel Hill, I'm pretty sure Liz has too, and Stephen is torn between Chapel Hill and UGA. Well, I'm thinking about grad school too... in a year though.

The programs at UT Austin and GA Tech sound amazing. I have yet to rank the others.

1. UT Austin - M.A. Architectural History

"History faculty in the School of Architecture review the applications and recommend admission to the Graduate School. Prerequisites for admission include a baccalaureate degree, 12 hours of architectural history, which may include courses in art history, history, or related subjects, plus design experience satisfied by coursework or by demonstration of prior field or professional architectural experience."

1. Georgia Tech - M.S. History, Theory, and Criticism of Architecture

Cornell University - M.A. HAUD (History of Architecture and Urban Development)
"Applicants should have an undergraduate degree in architecture, archaeology, history, history of art, anthropology, or an undergraduate degree in any area and appropriate experience in the field. M.A. degree candidates in the History of Architecture and Urban Development are required to have reading proficiency in at least one modern language other than English; Ph.D. degree candidates must have proficiency in two languages other than English before beginning the second year of study."
U Washington - M.S. Architecture (History and Theory Stream)

UCLA - M.A. Architecture (Critical Studies)

UC Berkeley - M.S. Architecture (History of Architecture and Urbanism)

UVA - M.A. Architectural History
"Applicants must hold an approved baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university. Admission to graduate study will normally require an average of B or better and a command of at least one foreign language. Candidates admitted to the program must, before beginning their work for the degree, have taken the equivalent of AR H 101 and AR H 102 (Intro to Architectural History) and one semester of architectural design studio (ARCH 201). These prerequisites may be satisfied by taking AR H 112 and ARCH 204, or the equivalent, during the school’s summer session."
UCSB - Ph.D. Architectural History
