Did you know that architecture majors have a higher dropout rate than medical students?
Over 40% of architecture students drop out before finishing their degree. This dropout rate is higher than in fields like medicine or engineering. Architecture programs demand a lot—long hours in studio, heavy workloads, and outside of scheduled classes, students often spend an additional 30 to 40 hours per week on studio work. Many find the time commitment and stress challenging, which contributes to the high dropout rate.
Thinking About Architecture, But Not Sure Yet?
If you're a high school student considering architecture—or just curious about what architects really do—this program is for you. Maybe you love buildings, drawing, or design, but you’re not sure if architecture is the right fit. You might be wondering what architecture school is really like, how much time it takes, or whether you’re choosing the right path. This course is designed to give you clarity before you commit, helping you make an informed, confident decision about your future.
Why I Created This Program
I’ve watched my own friends start architecture school full of excitement—only to drop out year after year because the reality was much tougher than they expected. Architecture is an amazing field, but it demands a lot, and without really knowing what you’re getting into, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
That’s why I created this program: to help students explore architecture early on, so they can make confident, informed decisions about whether it’s the right fit for them. I want to ease the stress and uncertainty, and help students find a path that truly matches their passion and strengths.
