Education of an Architect
To become a registered architect, one must satisfy the NCARB (National Council of Architectural Registration Board) requirements. It starts with a professional degree in Architecture. Universities that offer architecture have decided to follow one of two paths. Some universities offer a 5 year professional degree (Bachelor of Architecture), this degree meets the requirements to continue your path in becoming a registered architect. Some universities offer the second path which is the 4 + 2 program. This means students receive a pre-professional 4 year degree (Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies or a Bachelor of Environmental Design). After receiving a 4 year pre-professional degree, students must continue their education and apply for a Master of Architecture (2 years) in order to satisfy the NCARB requirements. The biggest assumption is that a 5 year degree is better than a 4 + 2 program. This is wrong!!!! Universities have a choice of what path to follow and some offer a professional and/or a pre-professional.
