Overview

The School of Architecture program offers three accredited degree programs, the Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.), the Master of Architecture (M.Arch.) and the Master of Landscape Architecture (M.LA+U). Accreditation guarantees that a degree program meets basic standards with regard to faculty, curriculum, student services, and research facilities.

NAAB Statement of Conditions for Accreditation (2020)

In 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 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.

The School of Architecture offers the following NAAB-accredited degree programs:

• Bachelor of Architecture (159 Credits)
• Master of Architecture (UG Degree with Non-Architecture Major + 96 Credits)
• Master of Architecture - Advanced Standing (UG Degree with Architecture Major + 60 Credits)

Both programs were granted reaccreditation in 2021. The next accreditation visit is slated for 2029.

BS in CS Enrollment and Graduation History

Accreditation of engineering and computing programs ensures that the programs produce graduates who are prepared to meet the expectations of employers, the public, or pursue further study in engineering or other fields.

Computing, engineering, applied and natural science, and engineering technology programs are accredited by . ABET in conjunction with the various professional societies develop the criteria for accrediting the programs.

Currently, the aerospace, architectural, biomedical, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, materials science and engineering, and mechanical engineering undergraduate programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, .

One component of the accreditation criteria requires each program pursuing accreditation to formulate Program Educational Objectives in consultation with their program-defined constituents. defines Program Educational Objectives as “broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years after graduation.”

Another component of accreditation requires that programs specify Student Outcomes, which “describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to skills, knowledge, and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program.”

ABET is committed to continuous improvement and all programs must assess and evaluate the extent to which their student outcomes are being attained and use the results of these evaluations for the continuous improvement of the program.

ABET requires that each program make available to the public certain information, namely their program educational objectives, student outcomes, accreditation status, and data on their student enrollments and degrees granted. This information for the accredited programs offered by �Ӱ�ԭ�� Institute of Technology’s Armour College of Engineering.
