Spanish term or phrase: Arquitecto
Hola! Estoy traduciendo un CV (otro....) de un arquitecto egresado de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Obviamente que no es necesario que me digan cómo se dice "Arquitecto" pero...(tal vez US native speakers sean mejorvenidos...) en un diploma, los arquitectos en EE UU, llevan un BA? un ....¿algo? o tan sólo se traduce "arquitecto".

Gracias muchas, Au

Explanation:
B.A. is commonly understood as Bachelor of Arts.

For another alternative see "Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture":-

Bachelor of Architectural Studies

The BAS degree is a four-year undergraduate pre-professional degree. High school graduation and post-secondary prerequisites apply for admission.


Master of Architecture

The MArch degree is a three-year graduate professional degree leading to qualifications for licensing. Undergraduate degrees in related or unrelated fields required for admission.

Aurora, respondo a tu duda. Un B.Arch. es una carrera (ojo- en inglés, \"carrera\" es \"program\", no \"career\") normalmente de 4 o 5 años. Despues de recibir el título, la persona aún no es un Arquitecto hasta que no reciba el título profesional o \"license\". De la página http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos038.htm (de los EEUU) tenemos lo siguiente: \"All States and the District of Columbia require individuals to be licensed (registered) before they may call themselves architects or contract to provide architectural services. Nevertheless, many architecture school graduates work in the field while they are in the process of becoming licensed. However, a licensed architect is required to take legal responsibility for all work. Licensing requirements include a professional degree in architecture, a period of practical training or internship, and passage of all divisions of the ARE.\"

Se me olvidó agregar la conclusion: en visto de lo anterior, propongo: \"Licensed Architect\"

part ones and part twos


Explanation:
I know that in the UK architects have to complete various levels known as part ones and part twos... part ones at least are completed during what is quite a long degree course (5-6 years), while part twos are normally completed during the early years of professional work.

this doesn't answer your question directly but it might help you to find a good equivalent

M.A. (Master of Arts)


Explanation:
I'm an ex-architecture student, so I can tell you how it was 20-30 years ago. I doubt that it has changed, but perhaps you should check.

Architecture is considered a professional (graduate) degree, and few if any institutions offer a B.A. in Architecture. Some institutions offer a 5-6 year program leading to an M.A. in Architecture, with no B.A. along the way.
