An internet presentation of the Occupational Outlook Handbook plus related career guidance information

Architects, Except Landscape and Naval

Significant Points

  • About 1 in 4 architects was self-employed—more than three times the proportion for all professional and related occupations.
  • Licensing requirements include a professional degree in architecture, 3 years of practical work training, and passing all divisions of the Architect Registration Examination.
  • Architecture graduates may face competition, especially for jobs in the most prestigious firms; opportunities will be best for those with experience working for a firm while still in school and for those with knowledge of computer-aided design and drafting technology.
