First, aim to obtain a Bachelor's degree in Architecture. It's a great idea to ensure the program is accredited by NAAB, if you can. This will set you on the right path for success!

David E.’s Answer

To prepare yourself for the college education required, in high school, you should consider art, math, sciences, social justice, and perhaps physics. All of these will help to open your mind to the type of critical thinking that is required for developing a designer's mindset. In college you can approach from two aspects; you can go to an accredited four-year college and study in a program of architectural design or you can study various aspects of art or art history. If you go the way of studying art history or fine art, you will then need to obtain a master's degree in architecture to practice. If you receive a bachelor's of architecture you will be able to move either to a firm to practice or go on for an advanced degree in architecture. You can also work in practice and pursue your master's degree while working.
