NAAB Accreditation

Official NAAB Statement:

In the United States, most registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional architecture program as a prerequisite for architectural licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) which is the sole agency authorized to accredit professional degree programs in architecture offered by institutions with U.S. regional accreditation recognizes three types of accredited professional degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, Master of Architecture (M.Arch), and the Doctor of Architecture (D.Arch). A program may be granted an eight‑year term, an eight‑year term with conditions, or a three‑year term of initial accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established education standards.

Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may require a non-accredited undergraduate degree in architecture for admission. However, the non-accredited degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.
