Where does my path start?
You will complete an Associate of Arts - Direct Transfer Agreement (AA-DTA) at Shoreline.
Use the AA -DTA Degree Planning Guide, with this sheet, to understand the requirements for graduation.
Architecture programs require specific courses in the first two years of study that are not offered at community colleges; therefore, depending on the transfer destination, it may be advisable to transfer before completing the AA-DTA degree.
To practice as a licensed architect, students will need to complete an accredited graduate degree in architecture.
Where can I go for help?

What is Architectural Studies?
From houses, hospitals, schools and bridges to museums and skyscrapers, architects plan and design buildings and structures. Landscape architecture is a specialization of architectural studies focusing on outdoor, open spaces to design gardens, parks and natural settings. Working directly with clients, engineers and contractors, architects develop ideas, estimate costs and plan designs for construction. In addition, architects work closely with city and local government to remain in compliance with government laws, regulations and building codes.
Areas of Study in Architectural Studies: Two and Three Dimensional Design, Drawing, Architectural History, Architectural Theory, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Aided Design, Computer Graphics, Public Policy, Building Codes, Government Regulations, Estimating, Building Materials, Project Management and Professional Ethics.
What can I do with a Bachelor’s Degree in Architectural Studies?
Students who graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Architectural Studies can apply for entry level positions and must work directly under the supervision of a licensed architect. A graduate level degree in Architecture and a three-year internship are required for professional licensure. For more information on the Architecture profession: American Institute of Architects: https://www.aia.org/ or www.aiaseattle.org; Architecture Education: www.acsa-arch.org; Licensing Requirements: www.naab.org or www.ncarb.org
Potential employers include: Private architectural firms, engineering companies, colleges and universities, government agencies, consulting firms, real estate developers, city councils, urban planning councils, construction companies, historical societies, and self-employment.
