Resources
Architecture Resource Center (ARC). The ARC provides an extensive range of materials, including around 30,000 books, 100 journals, a media collection, and access to online databases. An added dimension to resource materials is multiple 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. There are also smaller historical collections such as the Thomas H. Logan, Randall L. Wagner, Special, Robert Thornberry, Emma Watson, and Vernon Watson Collections.
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 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 professional degree programs in architecture offered by institutions with U.S. regional accreditation, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted an eight-year term, an eight-year term with conditions, or a two-year term of continuing accreditation, or a three-year term of initial accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established education standards.
Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may require a non-accredited undergraduate degree in architecture for admission. However, the non-accredited degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.
Andrews University School of Architecture & Interior Design offers the following NAAB-accredited degree programs:
- M.Arch. (pre-professional degree—138 undergraduate credits + 30 graduate credits)
- M.Arch. (non-pre-professional degree + 72 undergraduate prerequisite credits + 30 graduate credits)
Next accreditation visit for all programs: 2034
