i'm a US citizen and about to start my studies at the accademia di architettura in mendrisio, where after three years i'll obtain the 'diploma di architetto USI' which is a professional degree in switzerland (and the rest of EU as far as i understand).

unfortunately, they label the degree as being 'equivalent to a master of arts in architecture.'

i know ETH/zurich is the same.

so has anyone gone to these schools and then come back to USA and gone through the EESA/NCARB assessment to acknowledge it as equal to NAAB degrees for licensure? your help would be much appreciated. thanks.
