A student who wishes to pursue a professional career as a licensed architect may apply for admission to this program. Degree requirements conform to the standards established by the NAAB, and students who have successfully completed course work in an approved NAAB curriculum may achieve advanced standing. All requests for advanced standing are evaluated using the minimum qualifications for graduate study at KU, curricular standards established by the NAAB, and procedures approved by the Architecture Program Graduate Studies Committee. This program requires a sequence of seven semesters of architectural design studio, each of which is accompanied by associated professional graduate courses. One semester of architectural design must be taken in an approved studio setting in a foreign country. Currently, students in this program spend a summer session in Siena, Italy, and Berlin, Germany.
