Firstly I am not sure which country you are in but I might be able to shed some light on career path In the Two countries I am currently studying my Architecture the course is divided into 8 or 9 areas of which HNC/HND in architectural design, HNC/HND Computer aided design in construction, HNC/HND in construction, HNC/HND in general draughting or good ‘A’ levels Not necessarily in math and Physics but they add an advantage, can lead to the following ARCHITECTURAL DEGREES.

. BArch (- 7 years to complete) – Architect

2. Bdes (Hons) Architectural Property Development – (3 years to complete) – Real estate agent, housing associations, property development, local councils, renovation advisor or interior stylist.

3.Bdes (Hons) Inclusive Design – ( 3 years to complete) – same as 2 + virtual reality visualisation, landscape designer, healthcare environments designer

4.BSC (Hons) Architectural Design Technology – (3 years to complete) – works closely with architects and can design small projects also bridges the gap between Architects drawing and production on a building sight – Architectural Technician.

5.Bsc (Hons) Architectural Visualisation – (3 years to complete) – same as 4 but produces real time models on computer of Architects drawing 3D modelling etc

6.Bsc (Hons) Computer Aided Design and Construction – (3 years to complete) – draw plans like architects but using computers and can also redraw an architect’s drawing and subject it to engineering laws or assess the impact of a drawing to solutions on existing settings .

7.Bsc (Hons) Design Technology – ( 3 years to complete)same as 5 but they design a building in parallel with engineering technology e.g. design a building including the lift or mechanical stair system –

8.Bsc (Hons) Interior Architecture Design – ( 3 years to complete) – finishing designers e.g. film or theatre design, exhibition hall designer etc

9.Bsc ( Hons) Product Design and Innovation – (3 Years to complete) – same as 7 but they actually specialise in the design of the product like the details of the lift or details of the hydraulic doors.

Well I hope this gives you light but you actually need to get a career counsellor before you start because I have always seen people mixing these courses . Some even go up to 2nd year in a wrong career line . Especially no 1 and no 4 . Most people always think an architect is the same as an architectural technician .

The Princeton Review gives this advice on high school preparation:

Suggested High School Preparation

Keep in mind that, if you want to major in Architecture, it’s not enough to simply get into a college with an Architecture school; you must also be accepted into the Architecture school. Take as much math as you can: algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and (if possible) calculus or pre-calculus. You also want to develop a strong background in the sciences (particularly physics) and art. Taking art classes – drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, and the like – will develop your ability to visualize, conceptualize, and create. Familiarity with computers is also a plus, as a lot of design is done with the assistance of software these days.

As for the schools with good architecture programs, the Princeton Review says that these are the most popular, though I’m sure many public and private colleges and universities have great programs as well:

City University of New York – City College

Illinois Institute of Technology

Judson College (IL)

Lawrence Technological University

New Jersey Institute of Technology

New York Institute of Technology

Norwich University

Philadelphia University

Pratt Institute

Southern Polytechnic State University

State University of New York – Alfred State College

Ohio State University has a good architectural program. In high school I would take drafting, art, mathematics and physics. Drafting for the basic tools of the trade. Art for a sense of aesthetics. Mathematics and physics for the scientific side of the business.

University of Houston, Texas A&M, take lots of art, drafting; if it is computarized using AutoCad-better, mathematics to Calculus if possible.
