Summary: Too Broad, Not Enough Information
Review: I purchased this book to help me narrow my choices in regards to Graduate Schools for Architecture. As it turns out, less than 10% of the book is devoted to Architecture (the title led me to believe otherwise). Moreover, the information is simply contact information with some demographics, something that can be found for free on the internet. If you know what field you want to enter, find a book with that focus. This book was a big waste of money as one day after it arrived, I'm deciding if I should throw it away or give it to someone else (who will probably find it as useless as I do). For those interested in Architecture, "Guide to Architecture Schools, Seventh Edition" is the way to go. It costs twice as much as this book, but at least it provides useful, in-depth information!

Summary: The Best Book For Artists and Architects
Review: If you are an artist or an architect, or desire to be, this book is indispensable. I am interested in Graduate Architecture programs, and certainly that is covered here, but many other things are covered as well. The book is very well organized and gives information relevant to graduate degrees from all accredited schools in the country in architecture, but also in other design and arts programs such as photography, dance, urban design, industrial design, interior design, medical illustration, etc. The book itself is in an index format, with all schools in a given area listed alphabetically. For each program they list addresses, and contact information, faculty information and specializations, entrance requirements and accepted percentages, a list of all tuition and fees, financial aid available, and application information. Please note that this book is sometimes hard to get from Amazon. If Amazon is out of the book, or says they can't get it, you can go to www.petersons.com to buy it direct from the publisher. This is an excellent resource, and I highly recommend it.
