Employment as an Architect
More than 1 in 5 architects was self-employed—about three times the proportion for all professional and related occupations.
Licensing requirements include a professional degree in architecture, a period of practical training, and passing all divisions of the Architect Registration Examination.

Earn A Degree in Architecture. There are 113 schools of architecture that offer accredited programs (approved by the National Architectural Accrediting Board). That said, some state boards have devised their own systems and have set their own standards. Therefore, you must be sure you meet the educational requirements for your particular state.It can take up to five years to earn a Bachelor of Architecture degree. Many schools offer a two year Master of Architecture program for students with this degree or a three to four Masters program for students with an undergraduate degree in another subject.

Objectives
Tempe, AZ Campus
Computer Drafting and Design
Associate of Applied Science Degree

Drafting is a graphic language used by industry to communicate ideas and plans from the creative-design stage through production. Computer drafting and design is one way to produce drawings in traditional design and drafting fields. This program combines wherever appropriate computer-aided drafting with conventional methods of graphic communication to solve drafting and basic design-related problems. The program will help graduates prepare to work in entry-level positions in many diverse areas of technical drafting and design.

The goal of the Computer Drafting and Design program is to help the student acquire the skills to enter the workplace as a versatile draftsperson able to make basic design decisions and capable of addressing the challenges of future technological advances in the drafting and design profession. Career Opportunities. Many industries use drafters who can translate ideas, sketches and specifications of an engineer, architect or designer into complete and accurate working plans needed to make products, engineer projects or create structures. Graduates may begin their careers in a variety of entry-level positions in various fields involving drafting and design, some of which include mechanical drafting, piping drafting, architectural and construction drafting, civil drafting, interior design, illustration and design detailing. The availability of micro-CAD systems has enabled even small drafting firms to utilize computer-aided drafting and design. Graduates who have difficulty distinguishing colors may not be able to perform the essential functions of various positions involving computer drafting and design.
