Education
Entry Points
Training while in school can begin:
• In a 5-year professional program (NAAB-accredited
B.Arch or M.Arch): After completion of the 3rd year 96
semester credit hours, of which no more than 60 can be
general education. 32 semester credit hours and 48 quarter
credit hours = one year
• In a 4-year pre-professional program (program which
leads to direct entry into a 2 year M.Arch): After completion
of the 3rd year
• In a post-undergraduate program (NAAB-accredited
M.Arch following an undergraduate degree in another
discipline): After completion of the 1st year.

Getting Started: The Application
• IDP is required for initial registration in
51 of 54 jurisdictions (AZ, Guam, VI)
• Some states have their own programs (CO,
WI); however, interns should be aware that
these will not allow them to become
registered in other states.
• Remember the entry points: Encourage
interns to initiate their council records as
soon as they are eligible.
