M.Arch

Hi Ruby,
MBA or M.Arch can be beneficial because you'll have a better idea what will be required of you in the professional world. An MBA / M.Arch would be very helpful if your goal is to own your own business or to be a principal in an architectural firm.
Also, I must mention that if your bachelors degree in architecture is not a 5 year program, in most cases you will not be allowed to get registered. It makes more sense to get your Masters in Architecture first, then work for a few years, get your licenses, and then purse the MBA. This is a very effective way to keep your career on track while learning the business background on the side. If you live in an area with a good university that offers an MBA to working professionals, this is a great way to get an MBA.
Hope this helps. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful.
