In the realm of architecture education, some 82 percent of all licensure candidates in held a degree from a school accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board NAAB. Most but not all jurisdictions require a degree from an NAAB—accredited school. In a reversal of a historic trend, graduates of non-accredited programs completed the national licensing exam some 4 months sooner than students with degrees from NAAB-accredited institutions, although with slightly less success: a 48—compared to 54—percent pass rate.
Accredited schools saw a 2 percent increase in matriculation compared to the prior academic year—some 7, students, evenly divided between men and women, and split 48 percent to 51 percent between B. In total, just over 26, students were enrolled in a NAAB-accredited program—the highest numbers since Of those students, 51 percent were men, and 49 percent women. Gender parity of graduates, however, declined by 1 percentage point from last year; 53 percent of the 5, degrees conferred went to men, and 47 percent to women.
Gender representation and diversity increased among candidates who completed the Architectural Experience Program AXP —the second prong of the core requirements—in the proportion increased by 2 percentage points for women, to 42 percent, and by 3 percentage points for people of color, to 37 percent.
The increase in non-white candidates was largely seen among those of Asian and Hispanic or Latino heritage, with almost no change in the proportion of African American individuals. The number of Architect Registration Examination ARE completions—the third requirement of the process—fell by 21 percent to 3,, with the average candidate taking one month longer 2.
Women represented 39 percent of all those who completed the ARE in —the same proportion as the prior year, and highest level on record. They also comprised 38 percent of candidates who finished all core licensure requirements up 1 percentage point from , doing so, on average, in Women made up 35 percent of new NCARB certificate holders last year, the same as the in , and 22 percent of certificate holders overall—one percentage point higher than the previous year.
