The Bachelor of Architecture degree from Iowa State University provides the foundation for becoming a licensed, registered architect, and it does so within five years - the least amount of time possible. A registration certificate indicates that one has completed architectural school, spent the minimum required time as an intern-architect, and then passed a comprehensive examination designed to measure professional judgment and ability. Because architects directly affect the public health, safety and welfare, registration is an assurance that an individual can practice the profession responsibly.
