ARCHCareers.org - Website

Below is the introduction to ARCHCareers.org website as listed.

Welcome to ARCHcareers.org, a gateway that will introduce you to the steps in becoming an architect. The “Three E’s” of architecture will be your guide. They are: Education, Experience and Examination. Whether you are a high school student, a parent, a university student or an intern, these are the three core principles of the architecture profession. You must satisfy all three parts to call yourself an "Architect." This Web site will give you an overview to the varied and diverse paths to a career in architecture and of the requirements for registration.

ARCHCareers first started back in 1999 when the Consortium for Design and Construction Careers received a grant from the AIA College of Fellows. It first started as part of Akropolis, a website that finally stopped supporting the technical aspects of the site. As a result, I ended up passing it to AIAS and the National Associates Committee of the AIA. To top it off, AIAS received a grant of $5,000 from the Graham Foundation in 2006 to relaunch ARCHCareers.org.

Now, we need to continue to grow the website based on feedback from its users. Have an idea, drop me a line.

Dr. Architecture
