Typically, it takes around five to six years to complete a professional degree in architecture. This includes a pre-professional undergraduate degree, typically a Bachelor of Science in Architecture or a Bachelor of Architecture, followed by a professional degree, typically a Master of Architecture.
The first part of the education, a pre-professional undergraduate degree, usually takes four years to complete. During this time, students take a variety of classes in design, history, theory, technology, and other subjects related to architecture.
The second part of the education, a professional degree, typically takes two to three years to complete. This degree is often a Master of Architecture (M.Arch), which is required in order to become a licensed architect in the United States. The curriculum focuses on advanced design and technical skills, as well as professional practice and ethics.
It’s worth noting that requirements for licensure as an architect can vary by country and state, so I recommend checking the requirements in your area.
