What education do Architects receive?
I'm researching for a book and one of my characters is an architectural college student. I researched as best as I can but the results are very vague. I know there's a Bachelor of Architecture and a Masters. Is masters the specialization if it's buildings or landscapes, etc.? My character is 23 years old so by that point, what is an architectural student doing or studying about? I really have vague ideas and would appreciate if anyone answered my questions.

- Most architectural students pursuing their Masters degree in Architecture do so to acquire a "Professional" degree. Meaning their undergraduate degree is either a 4 year BS in Architectural Design or under a separate field all together. During the last year of their Masters program, the student is required to have a thesis project approved by his thesis advisor. It is up to the student and his advisor what specialization this thesis will focus on. So the subject matter is up for grabs as long as it is deem worthy of research.
