Drury University’s Hammons School of Architecture (HSA) offers a five-year first professional Master of Architecture degree that is fully accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which requires that all accredited programs post the following statement:
“In the United States, most registration boards require a degree from an
accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The
National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency
authorized to accredit professional degree programs in architecture offered
by institutions with U.S. regional accreditation, recognizes three types of
degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the
Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted an eight-year term, an
eight-year term with conditions, or a three-year term of initial accreditation,
depending on the extent of its conformance with established education
standards.
Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may
require a non-accredited undergraduate degree in architecture for
admission. However, the non-accredited degree is not, by itself, recognized
as an accredited degree.”
Drury University, Hammons School of Architecture, offers the following NAAB-accredited program:
M.Arch. (168 total credit hours; minimum 30 master’s-level credit hours)
The program received a full-term re-accreditation in 2024 and will next be re-accredited in 2032.
