What kind of education do you need to become an architect?

Answer 1

Check with a local university or college-- they have lists of the needed classes that THEY have. Not all higher learning has all degrees-- i.e. that list may give you what can be accomplished at your local community college-- saving time and money-- then you transfer ( AND make sure the classes content/grades will transfer to that university BEFORE you take the courses.) to the more expensive university to finish your degree. I suggest you also check the university in the world of architecture-- what is their reputation for products of that university-- how hard with that degree from that university- is it to get a job in a good firm???
You might be surprised about that reputation. Oklahoma State University-- thought of as an AG school-- has fine AG stuff-- but also fine architect training-- you never know.
The moral of this lecture-- do homework before you sign up--
good luck
