The practice of Architecture in the US is different from the practice in Europe.

In Europe graduation from Architectural College is considered qualifying for someone to be called architect and to be allowed to practice architecture.

In the US graduation from Architectural College is not enough for someone to be cancidered an architect. One should pass qualifying exams and obtain an architectural license in order to be legally allowed to use the title.

Architectural education is desired but not mandatory prerequisite for obtaining a license. Experience can be substituted for education in order for someone to be allowed to take the licensing tests.

Numerous professionals are practicing the profession without the right to call themselves architects. The juxtaposition of the legal and the common use of the concept architect in the US leads to an array of substituting wording to describe architectural practitioners who are not licensed: designer, job captain, manager, drafter, technician, staff, assistant.
