Architecture Schools Offer Many Career Paths

Architecture schools offer many career paths. Students can choose two-year, four-year, or five-year programs. Four-year bachelor's degree programs are a good choice for exploring options before deciding which graduate architecture school degree program to follow.

Architecture Schools address the many subjects of architecture that involve design, construction, and reconstruction of buildings, large and small. Architecture requires in-depth knowledge of materials, environments, landscapes, climates, soils, and planning strategies.

Students who choose to study architecture should realize that Architecture Schools may not be (and do not need to be) accredited. Professional architecture degree programs, however, are accredited. Architecture Schools may or may not offer accredited architecture degrees, and those that do may offer only one or two accredited degrees.

Architecture Schools may offer programs in historic preservation, architectural engineering, and accredited professional architecture degree programs. For those who intend to pursue architecture licenses should be careful to register for degree programs that are accredited by NAAB (National Architectural Accrediting Board ) or CACB (Canadian Architectural Certification Board). Only accredited degrees meet qualifications necessary for taking architectural licensing exams in most states.

Students interested in drafting, digital design, or home design, architecture careers do not require a degree from an accredited program. Technical schools or art schools may be a suitable choice. Architecture programs at any level, however, do require specialty on-the-job training and internships, which can take as long as three years. Students should consider personal issues, as well as issues relating to the schools being considered, before deciding on which Architecture School to attend.
