Professional Degree Program (Master of Architecture)

A comprehensive five-year plus curriculum leading to an NAAB-accredited Master of Architecture degree

“In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit US professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes two types of degrees: The Bachelor of Architecture and the Master of Architecture. A program may be granted a five-year, three-year, or two-year term of accreditation, depending on its degree of conformance with established education standards. “

“Masters degree programs may consist of a pre-professional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree, which when earned sequentially, comprise an accredited professional education. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.”— 1998 NAAB Conditions and Procedures for Professional Degree Programs in Architecture

Post-Professional Degree Program (Master of Science in Architecture)

A 30 credit hour Master’s degree for graduates of five or six year professional Baccalaurate programs
