National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB)

The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) is an organization responsible for evaluating and accrediting architecture degree programs in the United States. Its main role is to ensure that these programs meet high educational standards, which prepares students for careers in architecture. NAAB accreditation is important because it helps maintain the quality of architectural education and ensures that graduates have the necessary skills and knowledge to become licensed architects. Accreditation by NAAB is often a requirement for pursuing professional licensure and can enhance the credibility of an educational institution’s architecture program.
