Architecture Professional Licensure

The Woodbury University Bachelor of Architecture (BArch) and Master of Architecture (MArch) degree programs are accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). Woodbury University’s BArch and MArch degree programs prepare students for a license in Architecture in California. In addition, Woodbury’s BArch and MArch programs meet the educational requirements for licensure in Architecture in all 55 U.S. jurisdictions under the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB). Licenses are granted by the licensing authority in individual states and those licensing boards may also require additional non-educational requirements, such as exams and internship hours. Prior to enrollment, prospective students must review the information below.

The California Architects Board is the licensing authority for California. Among the non-educational requirements a candidate must complete to receive a California license are the Architectural Experience Program (AXP) and the Architect Registration Examination (ARE). Woodbury University will assist applicants and students as they determine licensure requirements in other states and U.S. jurisdictions.
