From the Paper:

"When in high school, plan a college preparatory program strong in English, history, social studies, mathematics, physics, and foreign languages. If you can, add courses in business and computer science. It may surprise you to know that freehand drawing skills will be more useful to you than drafting ability. Because most state architectural licensing boards require a professional degree, you should pursue the first professional degree accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). The most common first-professional degree programs are the five-year (undergraduate) Bachelor of Architecture and the six-year (undergraduate/graduate) Master of Architecture. Many students also prepare for a career in architecture with a four-year (undergraduate) liberal arts degree followed by a three- to four-year (graduate) Master of Architecture. An architecture curriculum is intensive and demanding, often requiring many hours of late-night effort."
