Becoming an ARCHITECT | How to BECOME a LICENSED ARCHITECT in the United States (2023)

[@germiedurandmoussitou5890]

Hi Natalie Perri. Thank you for the videos. I'm an architect to be. I've been watching your videos for 2 weeks. I do fond them useful. You explain naturally, just like talking to someone directly and that makes the message more clear. Thank you so much.

[@germiedurandmoussitou5890]

I'd rather you made a video about architects' salaries in the US🙏

[@skyeparker5822]

You do not need a degree from a NAAB accredited school to get your license in many states including California. You will have to do more AXP hours though

[@aishairfan6637]

I’m from Toronto and you can’t document your hours until you’ve graduated. I watched this video and automatically signed up for NCARB to start documenting my hours. So glad I know this now so that if I ever want to practice in the US I can

[@mintchyhouse]

Interesting. Im coming to the USA next year

[@erickzepeda8142]

I'm a high school junior interested in studying architecture in college. I've always had a B/ B+ in math, while all my other classes are A/A-. Would that affect my application into an architecture program, if so how significantly?

[@gavinfitch8406]

It won't. Math requirements aren't heavy in arch. If you can do up to Calc, you'll be fine.

[@jimmygunnz5651]

You'll be fine lil dude. Stick to it and stay motivated. You have the World ahead of you.

[@monetprotege]

89,000? Good luck with that. You need to manage your expectations where salary is concerned. You’ll be lucky to see that till the end of your career.

[@clairehannasch2448]

How do you log internship hours? Thanks!

[@saasikas]

I didn’t get the last part, patreon and architecture apparel, I checked the website but didn’t see architecture inspired products. Can you direct us, maybe a link. Thank you 🙏

[@sadanandpujari6456]

Make vedio on salary in U.S for architecture

[@KorantengAmoah]

Is the message for those who have finished and have certificate that they RR going to apply for job

[@mkrp4]

Just saying, I have never applied for professional engineering licence; engineering technologists-(ET or MT, like mine) majors are different categories than just engineers

[@ZeeCapp]

How do you find an accredited university? And what exact majors do you need? I see “architectural design” “architectural landscape” “architecture” “architectural history” and all types of stuff. I’m interested in the design but idk if that’s a different thing…

[@jefferytaylor8]

I have a Bachelors of science in biz admin. Could I just get a master in architecture to become an architect ? Have you heard of someone go this route?

[@gurleenlidhar]

Can you do a video for international b.arch graduates ? I wanna do my masters in the usa and i have no idea what i have to do after that or even before that. Can you tell everything about it....please?

[@gurleenlidhar]

@@UnravelingArchitecture thankyou !😃

[@computationdesign]

Hello dear, I am from Africa and i have graduated from india , and I am planning to pursue a Master of Architecture (M.Arch) from an accredited university in the USA. Additionally, I intend to stay in the USA and obtain an architectural license

[@KorantengAmoah]

Thank you ba I want to know if I have not done any architect studies during my grade 8-9that I want to become an architect will I be able to apply for college

[@liveandliftwithhrishi]

What about the foreign students studying in United States only for master and how can they get license for architecture

[@liveandliftwithhrishi]

Okay.... I'll wait for the updated vlog ...ty 😊

[@RAH-Andrew]

Check with the state you are trying to get licensed in. It’s regulated by each states “architects board”. Foreign architects typically have to take the ARE though.

[@brandonleesanders]

So essentially you need to have a career In going to school first

[@8901WCTENNESSEE]

and what if your going from state to state?

[@wsanders9433]

Hie Natalie Perri I have a question Do you need to reunde the license every year ? If so how many years ?

[@UnravelingArchitecture]

you have a continuing education requirement. They're listed by NCARB and labeled in the form of "Credits." it varies state by state. But if you neglect to fulfill your continuing education requirements, your license will be suspended.

[@jdog0341]

@@UnravelingArchitecture My wife is currently working on her continuing education. She has to get 12 hours by the end of the year. This is for the State of Colorado.

[@justina8143]

Me watching this video while being 2 years away from taking my Professional Engineering exam (Civil) 😅😅

[@christymathew315]

Did you take the GRE for grad school?

[@deepsouthmtb2531]

Could I go to undergrad at Duke (which does not have an accredited program) and receive a bachelor's in Art history with a concentration in architecture. Then move to a graduate architecture school at a different University?

[@KodiSwandaOfficial]

I've heard there is another path where you can opt out of university, but still be able to design homes. Do you have any information on that? For example, I have heard that home developers can design new homes without being a licensed architect. Just curious of how that would work. I wasted 4 years of university for a degree I did not want and I love architecture, but really don't want to be stuck at university again

[@brandonevil9416]

im here for the same reasons lol

[@RAH-Andrew]

Yes. There are states that have a work experience equivalent. That’s what I did I am licensed in California.

[@anashakh1769]

@@RAH-Andrew hello Andrew, I am trying to go the same path and also in California, would you mind sharing your experience? I am looking into the process currently and would really appreciate any tips, resources or references to the process. Thank you

[@takudivine171]

@@RAH-Andrew hi sir; your advise for me will be helpful, I just completed my high school and looking forward to architecture which courses I'm I to study in a community College in maryland?

[@rebeccarose2074]

What if I already have a bachelors in something else and then decided I wanted to be an architect? Can I get my m.arch still?

[@naomiboehm6480]

Hey! Yes you can! M.Arch is available to anyone with a bachelors degree :)

[@danielx40]

UPenn is good. Lots of my friends went to their landscape program. As an adult in the industry for 15 years, I can’t go to the internship program and have a kid being my “mentor”... AIA is a viscous company.

[@justina8143]

It’s funny how the road to being a Licensed Structural engineer here in the U.S is the same route I didn’t know that! We usually don’t do a Master’s degree tho, like unless you just hate yourself. I’m currently working under a PE and have 2.5 years before I can take the exam and become a PE. These have been hard years. When you’re studying under Licensed engineers they work you to the bone. I’m thankful tho I will say your learning STARTS after college. Great video. Can you do a video on the relationship between structural engineers and Architects??

[@alan_m91]

Yeah becoming a licensed professional in any field that requires it is typically tedious. Which is weird bc it essentially makes the undergrad degree useless...When you look at the grand scheme of things though, it makes sense to make it tedious as you'll be working on projects that effect others (ex. schools, roads, etc).

[@aethelwolfe3539]

The Bachelors of Architecture is a five year program accredited by NCARB. Because screw grad school.

[@erloum1775]

Hello, I was hoping to see if anyone could respond. I’m 24, have a marketing degree and am planning to go back to college and get my architecture degree, has anyone done something like this and can share their experience

[@KorantengAmoah]

To appy for college with a good grade from my high school i mean can i apply

[@venuschamunorwa3352]

If I get my license in the uk, can I let's say move to America and use my license there?

[@UnravelingArchitecture]

if you follow the steps laid out in this video [ kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5u7Xo2pirOtiJY ] you should be fine! But definitely reach out to NCARB with any questions specific to your case!

[@venuschamunorwa3352]

are does test based on the math side of architects ?

what did you get your undergrad in

[@seanguerrero8873]

Did you mean log our intern hours with "AXP" and not "APX"?

[@8901WCTENNESSEE]

SO WAIT! $250.00 for this test to possoblie fail? in order to become a architec? when your waisting alot more money$ to go to college and Learn other things and your all of the sudden thinking when am i going to get this money back?

Why?

[@JimyRoze]

Arnt those hours documented in paystubs or something? Shouldn't be to hard to count them up now.

[@UnravelingArchitecture]

i keep a google sheets of all the hours worked and tag each hour w a category

[@UnravelingArchitecture]

it’s not done by paystubs. you have to keep track yourself and it must correlate to hours worked at your firm and approved by a supervisor

[@keleniengaluafe2600]

❤❤👏👍

[@kaitlinmiaka3818]

It’s definitely not a good deal unless you are working in cities that have major projects like Dubai etc

[@Frogz1620]

Why you gotta diss Oklahoma like that?

[@theleviosadi]

Hi. first of all thanks for this Video. so i as far as i understood through my reading online, the supervision by the architect during your internship needs to be from an in the united states liscensed architect, which is a shame because i am currently working in germany but planning on moving to the usa. but i also understood, that if you acquire a masters degree then you no longer need the internship. can you somehow confirm that? thanks! ^^

[@qwertyzxcvb4856]

"its lenghty and challenging" and you will be working for a dude that had it short and easy. Every single generation gets more roadblocks in the way, the majority of licensed architects in my time had a 5 year diploma and the exams were multiple choice and cheap to take....look at the disaster now, all because nepo babies and chicks on the side taking over firms

[@8901WCTENNESSEE]

please comment me back

[@tomgolde5175]

U would expect at least 3 figures for being an architect 😂. Judging by your knowledge of mathematics I would expect your structures to crumble lol. I think you meant at least 6 figures 👍
