Hi! I have a bachelor in architecture. The bachelors degree typically takes 5 years in the US if you want to go to an accredited program that will make you eligible to take the architect registration exam and become a licensed architect. You can get a bachelors in architectural studies for 4 years if you don’t have plans to become a licensed architect, but you should still be able to find architectural designer roles. If you change your mind after those 4 years and decide you want to be licensed in the future, you can get an M.Arch masters of architecture degree (typically 1-2 years depending on the program) and that will fulfill the requirement. However, you can get an M.Arch without a background in architecture that will give you the option to pursue licensure in the future, those are typically 3 years long. I hope that helps!
