Bachelor of Architecture in Raleigh United States | North Carolina State University

Individuals require spaces for living, working, recreation, education, worship, gatherings, governance, shopping, dining - encompassing both private and public areas, from indoor rooms to outdoor complexes, spanning buildings, neighborhoods, towns, suburbs, and cities. Architects are skilled professionals who specialize in building design, holding licenses to ensure public health, safety, and welfare by translating these requirements into conceptual plans and then transforming those concepts into constructible building solutions. Today's architects must address not only conventional design considerations but also evolving priorities like accessibility, historic preservation and adaptive reuse of older structures and communities, environmental sustainability, and the development of rapidly growing urban areas.

For architecture students (BEDA graduates who finish four years) to obtain licensure in North Carolina and other states, they must undertake an extra fifth year in a Bachelor of Architecture program or a two-year Master of Architecture program. NC State University provides both of these accredited professional degree options. The concluding steps toward licensure involve completing a professional training period and successfully passing the Architectural Registration Examination.
