Berkeley Studio One accreditation
Hello guys! I have I applied to UC Berkeley's Studio One program. I was checking the site once again and I came accross the following: "STUDIO ONE is a one-year post-professional design studio intended for those who have a professional (accredited Bachelor of Architecture) degree, and who wish to continue to explore current design issues in a stimulating, rigorous, and experimental studio setting. Students who complete the program will receive a non-accredited Master of Architecture degree." I am International and I already hold a 5 year professional degree from my country in Europe. Here comes the question. What's a non-accredited degree??? If I am admitted and graduate from this program will I be able to work in the US as an architect? Thank you in advance
Non-accredited = not eligible for the education requirements of NCARB.
California, however, has an employment path to eligibility.

Thank you sneakypete! Looks like a good place to start searching for information. Do you know if the March ii program of Harvard, Yale, Ucla's Suprastudio, MIT's SMArchS,Columbia's MS,AAD are also non accredited? Anybody?
In your case, there are a couple different paths you can take towards licensure and the link given is very helpful.
Thank you so much Josh for your comment! For one moment I thought that only Berkeley's program was non-accredited! All of the programs I am applying are post-professional. And to be frank there was no other choice as I could not be enrolled into an march program with a 5 year diploma-bachelor from my country
Hello did u finally take up the course? I am in the deciding phase as well for the 2020 fall intake, would be great if I could get some insights on this.
