Qualification and professional pathway
Pathway is classified only from a statement on an official page. A degree title such as B.Arch, BA, BSc, M.Arch or MSc does not decide it, and no degree by itself grants permission to practise as an architect.
- Degree level
- Bachelor’s degreeA first degree entered after secondary school.
- Pathway
- Pre-professionalA first stage. The source says further study or a further qualification is needed before registration or licensure.
- Why we classify it this way
- The program page calls the four-year B.S. the first phase of a professional education.“The four-year Bachelor of Science in Architecture degree provides a well-rounded education, and a foundational core of design, architectural history, and theory, and building technology coursework as the first phase of a professional education for the general practice of architecture.”Source
