Question
Hello, My name is DelMario.  What job options are there for an
architecture student who complete his undergraduate degree?

Answer
A four year degree is not considered sufficient to be hired by a commercial architect although you can probably work for a residential office.
A five year bachelor degree is best and you must have that to qualify for the licensing exam in the U.S.
I attended a four year program but continued two more years to receive my first professional degree, a Master in Architecture.
A BS is general enough to work in some offices but is designed to allow you to go into other art related fields: graphics, sculpture, painting, photography, computer animation, etc.

John Henry Architect

Expertise

I am interested in the artistic and theoretical aspects of architecture and urban design/planning. I can discuss the progression of classical to modern architecture, the general stylistic and technical development, the formation of towns and cities, the background and training of architects. Ask any question relating to the profession, working with an architect, background information, etc.
