AUS architecture programme granted maximum accreditation term of eight-years
Sharjah: The American University of Sharjah’s (AUS) Bachelor of Architecture programme at its College of Architecture, Art and Design (CAAD) has been granted the maximum accreditation term of eight-years.
The university received the accreditation from the prestigious National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), based in the US. The five-year, undergraduate Bachelor degree at CAAD at AUS continues to be the only NAAB-accredited programme outside of North America.
Students who have graduated from a NAAB-accredited degree programme may undertake the process to become a licensed architect in America. Students from the US studying at AUS will have the same status toward professional licensure as any other student in America attending a NAAB-accredited programme.
