The Master of Architecture degree offered by the Georgia Tech Architecture Program is fully accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). The current term of accreditation is for years 2002-2008. The NAAB will conduct the accredition team visit for this program in Spring 2008.

In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The NAAB, which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three degrees: the five-year Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture.

The Master of Architecture degree may consist of an entirely graduate course of study (3.5 years at Georgia Tech) or a pre-professional undergraduate degree in Architecture combined with a professional graduate degree, (at Georgia Tech this is the 4-year Bachelor of Science in Architecture plus the 2-year Master of Architecture degree). However, the pre-professional four-year Bachelor of Science in Architecture degree is not, by itself, recognized as a NAAB accredited degree.
