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
- Page calls the degree pre-professional and says most U.S. jurisdictions require an additional NAAB-accredited graduate degree.“Students intending to pursue architecture licensure in the majority of other U.S. jurisdictions will require an additional graduate professional degree”Source
- Previous architecture degree required
- Not published
- Applicants without an architecture degree

- Further professional requirements
- For Hawai'i only, BEnvD graduates may pursue licensure after five years of full-time lawful experience and examination provisions set by the state licensing division; most other jurisdictions require an additional NAAB-accredited graduate degree.Source
