Qualification and professional pathway
Pathway is classified only from a statement on an official page. A degree title such as B.Arch, BA, BSc, M.Arch or MSc does not decide it, and no degree by itself grants permission to practise as an architect.
- Degree level
- Bachelor’s degreeA first degree entered after secondary school.
- Pathway
- Pre-professionalA first stage. The source says further study or a further qualification is needed before registration or licensure.
- Why we classify it this way
- The department calls its degree pre-professional and says it does not hold NAAB accreditation, aligning with a 4+2 route to an accredited M.Arch or direct entry to the AXP.“offers a pre-professional Bachelor of Arts degree that forms the foundation for graduate study, licensure”Source

- Applicants without an architecture degree
- Not published
- Further professional requirements
- The program is not NAAB-accredited; graduates may apply to an NAAB-accredited M.Arch or begin NCARB's Architectural Experience Program (3,740 hours), and licensure also requires passing the Architect Registration Examination and meeting state education requirements.Source

The institution does not publish tuition for this program on the pages we checked. Ask for current fees, what they include and whether studio, materials, printing, software, equipment and field-trip costs are extra.
