Ncarb Accredited Architecture Schools

The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (Ncarb) will certify all students who graduated from universities that are accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board or NAAB. There are three ways a student can get Ncarb certified; graduate from a school that is accredited by the NAAB, your school was accredited by the NAAB within two years after your graduation, and you can get additional education that is Ncarb approved. There are a number of universities that are accredited by the NAAB. These universities will allow you to be Ncarb certified.
