Multiple Choice

Which organization accredits architecture programs for licensure in the United States?

Explanation:
In the United States, licensure hinges on education from a professional architecture degree program accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). NAAB sets the standards for what a credible architecture curriculum must cover and conducts regular reviews to ensure programs meet those requirements, which is what licensing boards rely on when determining eligibility to take the Architect Registration Examination and practice professionally. CACB accredits programs in Canada, not U.S. licensure, so it isn’t applicable for US licensing. ABET accredits engineering and related technical programs, not architecture; AACSB accredits business schools; FQC isn’t recognized as the architecture accreditation body.
