How results are ordered: alphabetically by institution, or by most recently checked when you choose that sort. There is no price ranking, because tuition in different currencies, fee categories and bases (per year, per credit, whole program) is not comparable. Adjacent subjects such as landscape architecture appear only when you choose a subject. A value we could not verify is shown as “not published”, never as “no”. Items marked Sponsored are paid placements; they never change accreditation information, verification or order. Online programs are not counted as physically located in a state or city, and an institution’s location does not tell you whether it enrols students from your country.
Architecture education in California: what the researched records show
Our researched records for California cover 12 institutions (Academy of Art University, California Baptist University, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona and 8 more) with 41 architecture programs taught at a campus here. Fully online programs are not counted as local.
By level: 18 bachelor’s, 21 master’s and 2 doctoral programs. A further 5 adjacent-subject programs (landscape architecture, urban design and similar) is listed separately.
0 programs carry an accreditation, validation or registration-pathway record checked against the authority’s own listing, and 20 programs are classified as a professional pathway from a sourced statement. Accreditation, validation and registration are different things: each program page names the authority and what it covers.
Admissions: of the programs listed, 1 requires a portfolio.
16 programs publish tuition, each shown in its own currency, fee category and basis (per year, per credit or whole program), which is why tuition is never ranked across programs.
