Hello Aspirant,

A Civil Engineering bachelor's degree followed by a master's in Architecture is a valid path. The main difference is that a B.Arch focuses on design, while Civil Engineering emphasizes structure and safety. Your combination would make you a stronger candidate in firms that need both design and structural expertise. It is a worthwhile path, though it will take a longer time to get licensed.
