KNIGHT PROGRAM
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 U.S. professional degree programs in architecture,
recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of
Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted a 6-year,
3-year, or 2-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its
conformance with established educational standards.
Master's degree programs may consist of a pre-professional undergraduate
degree and a professional graduate degree that, when earned sequentially,
constitute an accredited professional education. However, the
pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree. |
