How much does a architecture professor make?

In the US, pay can vary with experience, responsibility, seniority or tenure, and location. School type matters too: BLS reports different average pay for architecture teachers at universities and junior colleges.

Teach courses in architecture and architectural design, such as architectural environmental design, interior architecture/design, and landscape architecture. Includes both teachers primarily engaged in teaching and those who do a combination of teaching and research.

What's a typical day like?

They may start with a lecture on building design, then sit with students in a design studio and comment on their projects. Later, they grade work, answer questions during office hours, and may research or write about architecture.

In the US, earn a professional architecture degree and usually continue to graduate school; universities often seek a doctorate, while some accept a master’s plus substantial practice. Gain teaching experience too—this career usually follows years of study and work.

Graduate degree or long training (preparation level 5 of 5)

Good for people who like helping and teaching and figuring things out.
