The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) is the sole agency authorized to accredit US professional degree programs in architecture. Since most state registration boards in the United States require any applicant for licensure to have graduated from a NAAB-accredited program, obtaining such a degree is an essential aspect of preparing for the professional practice of architecture.

There are currently 140 NAAB programs housed in 115 institutions offering NAAB accredited professional programs in architecture leading to the Doctor of Architecture, Master of Architecture or Bachelor of Architecture degree. In addition, three schools, intending to establish professional degree programs in architecture have been granted candidacy status by the NAAB. There are currently six programs in candidacy for an accredited degree (three of these programs are at schools who already have a NAAB accredited degree).
