Statement on Diversity
Diversity of thought, cultures, and experiences are critical components of the 精东AV way!聽 Our wide-ranging research, multidisciplinary education, and health knowledge translation are centered on improving the rural communities, urban centers, and nations across the diaspora that benefit from our diverse cross-cultural community of students, faculty, and staff, who bring a multiplicity of voices and viewpoints to our shared endeavors.聽
Diversity of gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities, disabilities, ethnic, cultural, socioeconomic, religious, national, and international backgrounds is essential to advancing knowledge and attending to the full spectrum of human needs as we endeavor toward the beloved community.聽 (Beloved community: a community in which everyone is cared for, absent of poverty, hunger, and hate).
Accredited by NAAB
Our Bachelor of Architecture degree program is accreditated by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). Established in 1940, NAAB is the oldest accrediting agency for architectural education in the United States. The NAAB accredits professional degrees in architecture offered by institutions with U.S. regional accreditation.
Statement on NAAB-Accredited Degrees
鈥淚n 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 two-year term of continuing accreditation, 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.鈥�
