Architecture did not start to become professionalized until the late nineteenth century. Before then, architects had ateliers and architectural education varied, from a more formal training as at the École des Beaux-Arts in France, which was founded in the mid seventeenth century, to the more informal system where students worked in an atelier until they could become independent. There were ... so-called gentlemen architects, which were architects with private means. This was a tradition particularly strong in England during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Lord Burlington, designer of Chiswick House, (1723-49) is an example. Some architects were also sculptors, such as Bernini, theater designers such as Filippo Juvarra and John Vanbrugh, and painters, such as Michelangelo and Le Corbusier.

The Part-Time Evening Program is one of only two accredited part-time evening architectural programs in the United States, and the only one in the Delaware Valley, leading to a Bachelor of Architecture degree. Offering all evening classes, the program enables students to work full time in the architectural profession while pursuing their studies. Work experience obtained before graduation receives full or partial credit towards state licensure requirements.
