Resources - Careers in Architecture

As the principal of a firm, we receive calls all the time and often meet with prospective students, but it would be helpful to have a handout to give them. Additionally, there ought to be a direct link on the AIA website to ARCHCareers.org where it would be easy to download the pamphlet and a list of accredited list of architectural schools. If you log on to ARCHCareers.org and try to print information today it is not in a friendly user format. What you are doing for AIA is very important and I commend you for your efforts.

I can share that they do have an online brochure from the following website on www.aia.org. As you can see, there is a direct link to ARCHCareers.org from this website --.


The National Architectural Accrediting Board has a website dedicated to resources on Careers in Architecture including an updated list of NAAB accredited programs (see below).


ACSA also has an online guide to architecture programs


May I also suggest you refer prospective students to the following: Becoming an Architect: A Guide to Careers in Design.

A final resource is a description of the career from the Occupational Outlook Handbook.
