Architect Without A Degree?


"Traditionally, being able to work as an architect required either a five-year Bachelor’s in architecture (B.Arch) or any four-year degree and a Master’s in architecture (M.Arch). Our article, How to Become an Architect, provides an overview of the education requirements in the US and UK. However, for those looking for a route to become an architect without a degree there are in fact several alternative ways to achieve this without a B.Arch or M.Arch."*

John S. Chase

From Wikipedia:

"John Saunders Chase, Jr. (January 23, 1925[1] – March 29, 2012) was an American architect who was the first licensed African-American architect in the state of Texas and was the only black architect licensed in the state for almost a decade. He was also the first African-American to serve on the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, which reviewed the design for the United States Vietnam Veterans Memorial.[2]
 
On June 7, 1950, when Chase enrolled at the University of Texas, the university became the first major university in the South to enroll an African-American. Upon graduation, no white firm would hire him, so Chase moved to Houston to start his own firm. In 1963, he built the Riverside National Bank, the first black-owned bank in Texas.[3] In 1971, he and 12 others founded the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA).[4]"
