The National Architectural Accrediting Board has conferred its initial 3-year term of accreditation to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Master of Architecture degree. Master of Architecture graduates in four tracks organized by SAIC’s Department of Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Designed Objects are now eligible to apply for professional licensure.

SAIC’s master’s degree becomes one of just five accredited by NAAB among all those granted by the 41 members of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design. Joining programs at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the Illinois Institute of Technology, SAIC is the third school in the city to offer the accredited degree.

The School of the Art Institute of Chicago offers a single NAAB-accredited professional architecture program with the following four well-differentiated tracks:

Master of Architecture
(102 credits; requirement: non-professional degree)

Master of Architecture – Option II
(60 credits; requirement: pre-professional degree)

Master of Architecture with an Emphasis in Interior Architecture
(102 credits; requirement: non-professional degree)
