If you want to become an architect, most states require that you be licensed. To get a license, you need to complete an undergraduate degree that is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). According to their website (www.naab.org), there are other methods of acquiring a license, but most states do require a degree from an accredited program. NAAB states that they accredit programs, not colleges.
NAAB lists the Bachelor of Architecture or the Master of Architecture as the accredited degrees for this profession. You can, however, get a Bachelor of Science in Architecture as a 'pre-professional' degree and then complete the Master of Architecture curriculum at an accredited school. The NAAB website lists over 100 accredited programs. |
