Some states allow individuals to obtain a license without meeting the prerequisite of holding a NAAB-accredited degree. Such individuals may hold a pre-professional architecture degree or other degree that is not NAAB accredited. States allowing non-professional degree holders to obtain a license will typically require additional years of internship beyond what is required for NAAB accredited degree holders. If you are specifically interested in this option, please contact the states in which you anticipate seeking professional licensure.
