Natalie’s Answer

If you're in college now, and think you want to pursue a Masters in Architecture, you should make sure your college coursework fulfills the basic entry requirements (usually some calculus and physics). That said, being good in calculus and physics has pretty little to do with the practice of architecture so don't let that dissuade you for exploring architecture further.

If you haven't entered college yet, exploring which colleges provide a NAAB-Accredited Program. The coursework will be tailored to architecture.

Also, if there's a NAAB Accredited Architecture school by you, you should look up their website to see if they have any events/lectures by architects. Sometimes they are open to the public.

https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/articles/what-an-architecture-degree-is-and-how-to-become-an-architect#:~:text=People%20who%20want%20to%20receive,or%20three%20years%20to%20complete. and https://www.ncarb.org/blog/how-to-become-architect outline the requirements but licensing will vary from state to state.

Basically, you'd need to get a Bachelor of Architecture, Master of Architecture, or Doctor of Architecture degree. Earn 3,740 hours of experience across six experience areas. Pass the Architect Registration Examination® (ARE®) multi-division exam. Then get a license in the state you want to work in.



Thank you comment icon Thank you so much for your time and telling me what degree are helpful. I also did not know I would have to get a license for the state I want to work in so thank you! arianna

There are two methods to becoming an architect. Either you can work for 8 years straight under a licensed architect after graduating from your Bachelor's program. Or you can pursue a two/three year Master's degree then work for five years. Then you will be eligible to test for your license. Either way it will take 8+ years of dedication to become a licensed architect.
