At the very least, you will need algebra and trig. You will also need some calculus to calculate forces/stresses.
It can vary. There are many private schools, art schools, and design schools all over the country in the US. Be careful though. Be sure to research accreditation. Cal Poly is a decent school for Architecture in CA, and their requirements are pretty standard for four year colleges in the state.
First you need all your general ed., then the following.
English Composition - 3 units
Critical Thinking - 3 units
Speech - 3 units
Physics (Trig based) - 8 units
Analytical Geometry/Calculus/Diff.Eqs - 4 units
Architectural Practice - 1 unit
Beginning Design and Drawing - 6 units
Computer applications - 3 units
So if math doesn't scare you, you got it. Check assist.org also to see what you can get done at your community college. Good luck.

BlakeThe requirements for an Architecture Degree (K100), in the UK at least, usually include a high grade in Art or a Design related A-Level, or a GNQ or Diploma. If you are hoping to get into a highly rated University you are looking at 2 or 3 A grades mostly. That is due to the amount of people applying for the courses and the limited amount of places per year, around 120 per year group at most universities.
It is a myth that you need maths or physics, unless you are specialising in Architectural Engineering. Generally Architectural Studies (or course code K100) only requires Art or just a portfolio of drawings/paintings/sculptures/Photography that show you have artistic or design skills if you haven't taken art/design A levels.
Some Universities interview you and I would take along about 15 A3/A4 pages of art/design work with you. Please don't talk about Le Corb or Frank Lloyd Wright as they are the most well known architects and very predictable to talk about. If anything get a week or two voluntary work during your summer at a practice if you can and see what architects do for yourself and that is much better to talk about in an interview. Or just visit some fairly good buildings near where you live e.g. The Yorkshire Sculpture Park Visitors Centre.

What education should one have to find jobs in architecture?
First of all, you need a Bachelor's Degree in architecture, then you have to have a background in architecture history, green building design, project management, construction methods, and CAD software such as AutoCAD, SolidEdge or Solidworks. Then you can also have a master's degree in architecture, but you have to have one or the other. For a master's, you need the bachelor's requirements, and also design theory.
What type of math classes do architecture students take?
Trigonometry and/or Calculus depending on the school's requirements, and Geometry and usually required to complete a bachelor's degree in architecture. Structures classes during the architectural program involve some basic use of each of these.
What is indegenious architecture?
indegenious architecture means the architecture of a particular place.
What impact did greek and roman architecture have on western architecture?
Renaissance architecture (14th and 15th centuries), Baroque architecture (16 & 17th centuries) and Neoclassical architecture (18th and 19th centuries) were modeled on Roman architecture.
What are the differences between the roman architecture and Sassanian architecture?
Gothic and Roman architecture are similar:
