question # 9
multiple select
why, do you suppose, an architect must have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, be licensed in every state, and often encouraged to pursue advanced degrees or additional professional training? select all that apply.

architects need not have a bachelor’s degree; many become licensed through apprentice programs.

the licensing provisions for architects typically require a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in design and related coursework to assure all graduates have approximately equal training and knowledge.

technology continues to influence building design by making it possible to produce new, stronger building materials and architects must be aware of the use and limitations of new materials.

architects must maintain a level of professional care and attention to detail that assures their designs meet with accepted standards.

Explanation:

• Option A is incorrect because the question states architects need a minimum bachelor's degree, so apprenticeship-only licensing does not align with the requirement.
• Option B directly addresses the educational requirement tied to licensing standards for consistent training.
• Option C explains why ongoing training/advanced education is needed: to stay current with evolving building technology and materials.
• Option D connects the strict requirements to the need for professional rigor to meet industry and safety standards.

Answer:

B. The licensing provisions for architects typically require a minimum of a bachelor's degree in design and related coursework to assure all graduates have approximately equal training and knowledge.
C. Technology continues to influence building design by making it possible to produce new, stronger building materials and architects must be aware of the use and limitations of new materials.
