Architecture Program Accreditation
Architecture Program Accreditation
In the United States, most 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 professional degree programs in architecture offered by institutions with U.S. regional accreditation, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. 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.
North Dakota State University’s Architecture program offers the following NAAB-accredited degree program :

ARE Pass Rates
The Architectural Registration Examination (ARE) "assesses a candidate's knowledge, skills and abilities to provide the various services required in the practice of architecture.” It has been adopted for use by all U.S. Registration boards and the Canadian provincial architectural associations as the registration examination for all candidates seeking architectural licensing. Annually, the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards publishes pass rates for each section of the ARE by institution, and may be found at ARE Pass Rates.

We are committed to providing a learning culture that increases diversity in forms including race and ethnicity, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, language, culture, national origin, socioeconomic status, religion, veteran status, age, political perspective, and (dis)ability status. As fields that impact the built, experienced and cultural environments it is critical that we embed an understanding and experience with diversity in all of these forms to ensure that design solutions and artistic creations reflect the world that we live in.
