Accredited by: The National Architectural Accrediting Board.

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 6-year, 3-year, or 2-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.

Master's degree programs may consist of a preprofessional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree that, when earned sequentially, constitute an accredited professional education. However, the preprofessional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.

The New Jersey School of Architecture educates students to assume positions of responsibility and leadership in the architectural profession and in developing areas of opportunity in technology and community design related to the discipline of architecture. An emphasis on studio design in the curriculum is reinforced by courses in history, building science and social concerns. A diverse faculty brings its expertise to bear on issues of architecture, technology and culture and challenges students to prepare for their productive years as practitioners, scholars and researchers. The architecture program builds on the strengths of a technological university with its extensive capacity in computer graphics while emphasizing design directed toward the traditional human-centered values of architecture.

The total time needed to earn a Bachelor of Architecture (the first professional degree) at NJIT is five years.

The curriculum as described below is for students entering NJIT as freshmen in the fall of 2000 or after that date. Students entering before that date may have a different program and should consult the school to learn which curriculum applies.

The New Jersey School of Architecture also offers a nonprofessional, four-year undergraduate program leading to the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Architecture. The B.S. does not lead to licensure as an architect; instead it presents students with a wide array of other options leading to career opportunities within the building industry. Students can be admitted to the B.S. in Architecture program as a freshman or transfer from the B.Arch. program after two years. The B.S. in Architecture program requires 135 credits and is structured as follows:

The first two years of the B.S. in Architecture program are identical to the course of study for the five-year professional program.

In the third year, all B.S. students take Arch 363 followed by a computer elective. Thus every student has at least one full year of computer-based learning. The B.S. in Architecture is designed to lead into a series of accelerated graduate degree programs in fields such as construction management (B.S. in Architecture/M.S. in Civil Engineering), infrastructure planning (B.S. in Architecture/Master in Infrastructure Planning), management (B.S. in Architecture/M.S. in Management; B.S. in Architecture/M.B.A. in Management of Technology), or a professional graduate degree in Architecture (B.S. in Architecture/Master of Architecture) leading to licensure. Graduate-level course descriptions for those listed in the dual degree programs description are located in the NJIT Graduate Catalog.

Course choices are worked out on an individual basis after consultation with the academic advisor to reflect a student's individual interests and career objectives. The B.S. in Architecture provides a wide array of curriculum paths; it is designed to provide a superb general education for all building professionals.

Degree Requirements for Dual B.Arch. and M.S. in Management

The New Jersey School of Architecture and the School of Management have established a dual degree program, which permits students to obtain a B.Arch. with a Master of Science (M.S.) in Management.

There is no reduction in the degree requirements for the professional degree in Architecture. The dual degree program permits students to obtain an M.S. in Management in substantially less time, in some cases with only one more semester of study. Up to 12 credits of graduate-level coursework may be applied to both the B.Arch. and M.S. in Management degrees.

Students may take additional courses at the graduate level during their undergraduate career, but these courses do not count toward the undergraduate degree requirements and students are charged at the graduate course rate. Eligible students should contact the Office of Graduate Studies in their junior or third year regarding the process for admission to the dual degree program. The Office of Graduate Studies will coordinate the process with the undergraduate program director in the School of Architecture and later with the graduate advisor and the Office of Graduate Admissions as the student nears completion of the undergraduate degree. In order to be eligible for initial and continued participation in the dual degree program, the student must maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA and take the GMAT during the senior or final undergraduate year. A GMAT score of 550 is required for admission to graduate study in the School of Management.

In addition to existing architecture courses, the M.S. in Management comprises 36 credits as follows. Note: This program was under revision at press time. Students should contact Elly Matzko, student advisor, for the current curriculum.

Degree Requirements for Dual B.Arch. and Master of Business Administration in Management of Technology

The New Jersey School of Architecture and the School of Management have established a dual degree program that permits students to obtain a Bachelor of Architecture degree with a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) in Management of Technology.

There is no reduction in the degree requirements for the professional degree in architecture. The dual degree program permits students to obtain an M.B.A. in Management of Technology in substantially less time, in some cases with only one additional year of study. Up to 12 credits of graduate-level coursework may be applied to both the B.Arch. and M.B.A.

Students may take additional courses at the graduate level during their undergraduate career, but these courses do not count toward the undergraduate degree requirements and students are charged at the graduate course rate.

Eligible students should contact the Office of Graduate Studies in their junior or third year regarding the process for admission to the dual degree program. The Office of Graduate Studies will coordinate the process with the undergraduate program director in the New Jersey School of Architecture and later with the graduate advisor and the Office of Graduate Admissions as the student nears completion of the undergraduate degree. In order to be eligible for initial and continued participation in the dual degree program, the student must maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA and take the GMAT during the senior or final undergraduate year. A GMAT score of 550 is required for admission to graduate study in the School of Management.

The M.B.A. in Management of Technology is a 60-credit program. However, 12 credits in management background courses are waived for architecture graduates. Therefore, in addition to completion of the architecture program requirements, the M.B.A. comprises 48 credits as follows. Note: This program was under revision at press time. Students should contact Elly Matzko, student advisor, for the current curriculum.

9 required credits taken in the New Jersey School of Architecture constitute an area of concentration in architectural management and count toward both the B.Arch. and M.B.A
