<p>Perhaps I can shine some light on this subject. The BS in architecture used to be sufficient, but as of recent this has changed and now only BArch, MArch, or PhD are accredited. In the majority of states MArch are heavily preferred and doesn’t necessarily guarantee a job (obviously) but is strongly recommended being that most graduates are bringing a MArch to the table. This is what I am assuming casmith942 was referring to. And yes it is true that some states require a MArch for licensing, but this all depends on where you live, and you will have to look at your own states requirements</p>
