I want to find an accredited college or university where I can study
for a bacholors degree in architecture through distance learning. I
have been unable to locate one on line so far.

Clarification of Question by adam6-ga on 27 Apr 2005 18:10 PDT

Thank you for responding to my question so quickly. I don't seem to be
able to access to links you provided for me.  The pages do not load. 
Are there any specific schools that you could recomend for me? I am
interested in the architectural design degree that you talked about.

Dear Adam, 

I pretty much toiled for the following list, but I guess I got hooked ;-) 

Academy of Art University has programmes in "interior architecture &
design". The programme is accredited (see "Accreditation" in the
"About us" section of the site), but would not lead you to a degree in
architecture.

To be fair, there are more degrees in interior design, which is the
direction of this degree, but none of them has elements of
architecture.

Another possibility is Thomas Edison College. It offers a bachelor
degree in "Applied Science and Technology", with specialisation in
Architectural Design. The programme is fully accredited.

Architectural Design

Both of these degrees are not accredited by NABB, which probably means
that you cannot become an architect using them. However, it might be
possible to begin with these degrees and follow to a master of
architecture in a NABB accredited school (while I haven't found
schools that offer accredited distance learning masters of
architecture in the United States, several Australian universities
do).

I hope this answers your question. Please contact me if you need any
clarification on this answer before you rate it. My search terms:
architecture bachelor "distance learning"
architecture accredited "distance learning" 
"architecture" - in Distance Learning specialising sites.

Dear Adam, 

I'm afraid you won't find any because: 
- Architect's licensing is different from state to state but in many
cases rejects the possibility of completely distance education (that
is, if you want to become an architect later. Check with your state's
board what are the requirements);
- Because of that, the closest accredited degree is in architectural
design, but not in architecture.
