Pretty much the same thing to be an architect anywhere!

"While still in high school, you should plan a strong college preparatory program with courses in English, humanities subjects, mathematics, including geometry, trigonometry, algebra, and pre-calculus, and physics.

Art courses - drawing, painting, sculpture, or photography - will be helpful in developing your ability to visualize and conceptualize, both important skills to an architect.

Elective courses in computers and business will be extremely helpful in preparing for a career in architecture. "

"As an architecture student, you will study a broad range of subjects, including writing, design, graphics, computer applications, art history, mathematics, physics, structural systems, and building and materials construction.

To get an idea of the specific classes you will take, spend some time browsing through the course listings of colleges that have been accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). Here's a sampling of classes offered by several architecture schools:

Parsons School of Design - Graduate Program
Penn State College of Arts and Architecture
University of Texas at Austin
University of Louisana at Lafayette
Ball State University "

Salary between 40-60K starting out.
