== In modern terms, to become an architect it is necessary to graduate university with a bachelors degree in Architecture; this normally takes about 5 years (ess if you want to become an architectural technologist, 3 years). How old depends on what age you start. Just add 5 years to, for example, 18, so about 23 years old. Normally you have a period of private practice experience of 2 years, followed by an exam and then officially you are an architect. In total, at the age of about 25 you are an Architect. == Practically, the age to become an architect is 33.

The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for architects.

There are three main steps in becoming an architect. First is the attainment of a professional degree in architecture. Second is work experience through an internship, and third is licensure through the passing of the Architect Registration Exam.

Education and training. In most States, the professional degree in architecture must be from one of the 114 schools of architecture that have degree programs accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board. However, State architectural registration boards set their own standards, so graduation from a non-accredited program may meet the educational requirement for licensing in a few States.

Three types of professional degrees in architecture are available: a 5-year bachelor's degree, which is most common and is intended for students with no previous architectural training; a 2-year master's degree for students with an undergraduate degree in architecture or a related area; and a 3- or 4-year master's degree for students with a degree in another discipline.

It depends on the school and program. Many schools are instituting a 5 year program for architecture, but it requires a bachelor's degree, typically a 4 year degree. In addition to the degree, there is an internship process involved.
