Navigating the path to becoming an architect in the United States can be confusing, especially if you studied or earned a license in another country! To help international applicants navigate the process of becoming licensed, our staff experts answered questions asked during a live webinar earlier this year.
First, our experts answered questions about applying for a license in a U.S. jurisdiction for individuals who are licensed outside of the United States or Canada—including how to navigate NCARB’s Foreign Architect Path to certification.
Next, our experts answered questions about completing the education requirement for certification if you have a degree earned outside the United States or Canada—including how to navigate the Education Evaluation Services for Architects (EESA) evaluation process.
