Bachelor's Degree
Across the United States, licensing boards typically mandate completion of an accredited professional degree program for licensure eligibility. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), the only organization approved to accredit architecture degree programs at regionally accredited U.S. institutions, endorses three distinct degrees: Bachelor of Architecture, Master of Architecture, and Doctor of Architecture. Accreditation periods vary based on compliance with educational standards, ranging from eight-year full accreditation (with or without conditions) to shorter terms of two years for continuing accreditation or three years for initial program approval.
