Candidates must possess one of the following categories of acceptable academic credentials:

1. a combination of a professional bachelor’s and a master’s degree; or
2. a terminal professional master’s degree; or
3. a doctorate

Degrees should be in Architecture or a closely related discipline. Foreign equivalents to U.S. degrees are acceptable. Uniquely qualified candidates without the minimum academic credentials – who hold a professional license in architecture, exemplify exceptional professional experience, and present widely-recognized professional work – will also be considered. Candidates must have classroom or practical experience using advanced digital software and technologies related to the discipline.
