Average Salary: $100,330

Typically, the journey of becoming an architect in the US starts with earning a professional architecture degree from a NAAB-accredited program or fulfilling the education requirements specified by the chosen jurisdiction. Subsequently, aspiring architects must document their practical experience, often through the Architectural Experience Program, which is accepted in all 55 U.S. jurisdictions, though some may mandate additional experience. The final step entails passing the Architect Registration Examination, a comprehensive test of an architect’s knowledge and skills. In certain jurisdictions, further requirements such as additional experience or location-specific supplemental exams may apply. The USA is one of the countries with the highest demand for architects.
