Architect Registration Examination - Eligibility

Eligibility

Eligibility for the ARE is governed by the prospective architects’ state or provincial registration board. Most U.S. jurisdictions require completion of a professional degree from the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) (B.Arch or M.Arch) and/or completing the Intern Development Program (IDP). Each jurisdiction is different, so candidates need to contact their jurisdiction’s registration board to find out their specific eligibility requirements.

A full list of requirements for each state is available on the NCARB website.
