Welcome to ARCHcareers.org, a gateway that will introduce you to the steps in becoming an architect. The “Three E’s” of architecture will be your guide. They are: Education, Experience and Examination. Whether you are a high school student, a parent, a university student or an intern, these are the three core principles of the architecture profession. You must satisfy all three parts to call yourself an "Architect." This Web site will give you an overview to the varied and diverse paths to a career in architecture and of the requirements for registration.

If you cannot find the answers to all of your questions here, you can write to Dr. Architecture for a personal response.

Much of this information is specific to the requirements and opportunities in the United States but may be applicable in other countries which have similar educational and licensure systems, such as Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom.
