There's so much more, even if we leave the financing and permitting/approvals out.
There's code research, product and materials research, engineering that ranges from civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and telecom.
Seriously, the stuff I've learned (and many other people) compromises about 5% of the stuff you'll do in the real world. There's no intensified study of functional and appealing spaces until you get into the profession. The drawing details are far more advanced. Basically...architecture school is the "schematic design" phase of a project. Some schools will occasionally have you draw some detailed wall sections, but they rarely reach the level of complexity you'd experience working for a firm.
