Education NeededEducation Needed• Bachelor's degree• Three requirements generally must be met for licensure: A professional degree in
architecture, a period of practical training or internship (usually for 3 years), and passage of all sections of the Architect Registration Examination.
• There are several types of professional degrees in architecture: 5-year Bachelor of Architecture programs intended for students entering from high school. Some schools offer a 2-year Master of Architecture program for students with a pre-professional undergraduate degree in architecture or a related area, or a 3- or 4-year Master of Architecture program for students with a degree in another discipline.
• Graduate education beyond the professional degree is not essential for practicing architects, it is normally required for research, teaching, and certain specialties.
