Where does my path start?
You will complete an Associate in Arts - Direct Transfer Agreement (AA-DTA) at Shoreline.
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.
