体系结构
North Dakota State University (NDSU) offers a 5-year National 拱itectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) accredited, first-professional Master of 体系结构 (M.拱.) degree program housed primarily in a beautifully-restored historic industrial building in downtown Fargo, which has emerged as an exciting, student-oriented urban district. Most students entering the graduate program in architecture come directly from the NDSU pre-professional Bachelor of Science in 体系结构 program. The curriculum includes field trips to cities across the country and is supported by a professionally-staffed wood shop, digital media labs, and laser cutters and 3D printing for model-making. Both traditional and digital media are emphasized. An optional semester abroad, plus foreign study tours during summers are offered.

In the United States, most registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure.
的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 体系结构, the Master of 体系结构, and the Doctor of 体系结构. A program may be granted an eight-year, 三年, or two-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards. The next accreditation visit will be in 2026.
Doctor of 体系结构 and Master of 体系结构 degree programs may require a pre-professional undergraduate degree in architecture for admission. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.

Transfer students should contact the department directly before application to the 研究生院.
