Resources

Architecture Resource Center (ARC).  The ARC provides an extensive range of materials including over 25,000 books, 90 journals, and a growing media collection. An added dimension to resource materials are two special collections. The ARC maintains a relationship with the Environmental Design Research Association, and houses an internationally recognized collection of books and materials in the area of environmental psychology and design. In addition, the ARC holds the Senseman Rare Book Collection of over 800 rare and out-of-print books and photos.

Student Handbook. A handbook for School of Architecture & Interior Design students outlining policies, operational guidelines, and general information is available from the School office. Students are responsible for all policies outlined in the School of Architecture & Interior Design Student Handbook.

Program Accreditation

In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted a eight-year, four-year, or two-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.

Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may require a pre-professional undergraduate degree for admission. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.

Andrews University School of Architecture & Interior Design offers the following NAAB-accredited programs:

  • MArch (pre-professional degree—138 undergraduate credits + 30 graduate credits)
  • MArch (non-pre-professional degree + 72 undergraduate prerequisite credits + 30 graduate credits)

Next accreditation visit for all programs: 2018
