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 page calls the B.S. pre-professional and says a NAAB-accredited M.Arch. is the end goal for students seeking licensure.“The B.S. is a pre-professional, competitive admission program. Up to 75 students are admitted each year.”Source
- Previous architecture degree required
