<p>I have a question about BDA and BS in Architecture. I want to know what differences they are and what job I would do if I am in BDA or BS. Thank you!!!</p>
<p>I don’t know what the BDA (Bachelor of Design in Arch?) but if you want a job in architecture, any degree will do. But note, any degree that is not a B.Arch, M.Arch or D.Arch is not considered a professional degree. What that means is that you will not be able to become an architect in most states and provinces of Canada until you complete one of those programs. </p>
<p>The B.Arch, M.Arch and D.Arch are the only titles for professional degrees. BS or BA in Arch are usually pre-professional programs. Many firms will still hire you but remember that you will be competing with students completing professional programs. Should you want to pursue a license to practice architecture, and you have a pre-professional program, you usually need an additional 2 years of school to get a professional degree.</p>
<p>For more information, you can refer to the National Architectural Accrediting Board or [url=<a href=“http://www.archcareers.org%5DARCHcareers.org%5B/url”>http://www.archcareers.org]ARCHcareers.org[/url</a>] which is run jointly by the American Institute of Architects and the American Inst of Arch Students. </p>
<p>I hope this helps!!</p>
<p>with only a BDA or BS in Architecture, your career will be very limited and you will be unable to design your own building w/o a license that you can get if you pass a test AFTER completing a professional degree (BArch or MArch).</p>
