I am a high school senior trying to decide what major to pursue in college. I really enjoy organizing/planning spaces; on the other hand, I love writing. That presents two totally different majors: architecture and journalism. If I were to pursue journalism, would a university allow me to take architecture electives simultaneously? Then, after earning a bachelors in journalism with a few architecture credits, would I be able to pursue a masters in architecture?
Thanks for your help!

First, I would not suggest you necessarily pick one over the other at this point in your life. To keep your options open, attend a university that has both majors - journalism and architecture. Assuming that the institution has an architecture minor, you could pursue an undergraduate degree in journalism and a minor in architecture. Afterwards, you could pursue the Master of Architecture (3-4 years) for those that have a unrelated degree (journalism).
As well, you could pursue architecture as an undergraduate degree with a possible minor in journalism. Again, pursue the Master of Architecture (2-3 years) for the professional accredited degree necessary for licensure.
At this point, keep both option open by writing and sketching.
Here are some resources I found be searching on the two topics in Google.
