An architect is first and foremost an interpreter of human needs. A candidate for the architectural profession should recognize in himself an ongoing interest in the creative nature of things around him. An interest in the arts, history and philosophy are also important prerequisites to the full enjoyment of becoming an architect. The student must complete a Bachelor of Architecture or Master of Architecture degree and a 2 or 3-year internship to become a registered architect.
Most opportunities are with established architectural firms.
However, the SDA church is constantly building churches, schools and medical facilities all over the world, and most require the services of an architect. Good for a graduate with good recommendations and showing promise.
