First is the attainment of a professional degree in architecture. Second is work experience through an internship, and third is licensure through the passing of the Architect Registration Exam.  Come meet with the School of Architecture and Planning and Undergraduate Admissions at Catholic University of America to learn more about the various educational paths in architecture and the transfer requirements for Catholic University.
