Architects must be licensed before they can practice. In order to get a license you need a
degree in architecture. Courses include architectural theory, building design, math, and
science. Then, you must finish an internship. Finally, you must pass all sections of a
license exam. Architects sometimes take new classes to keep their skills fresh.

Architects must be able to visualize things and communicate well visually. Art classes are
very helpful in doing this. Speaking, writing, and creativity are also important. Architects
should be computer literate.

Jobs for architects are expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations
through 2018. For example, there will be many new jobs designing environmentally -
friendly buildings. Despite this growth, however, new architects face competition. This jo b
attracts many people, so there are lots of applicants for openings. Applicants who gained
experience working for an architectural firm while in school have a competitive advantage.
