Department of Architecture Celebrates Accreditation

The Department of Architecture in the College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture (CETA) has been granted accreditation by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB).

With the accreditation, the University of Hartford becomes only the second school in Connecticut to offer a professional degree program in architecture.

In the U.S., most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. NAAB is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture. NAAB’s action ensures that graduates of the University’s master’s degree in architecture program will be able to sit for the licensing exam in architecture in every state in the country.

The University began the master’s in architecture program in 2003. The program has graduated more than 30 students, and 11 are currently enrolled in the program.
