The ARE+IDP Concurrency Vote

AssociateNews
Letter from the Editor

As most of you already know, right now in a majority of United States the path to architectural licensure includes a degree from an accredited architecture program + completion of the Intern Development Program + successful completion of the Architect Registration Exam. Many have questioned why a candidate for the ARE’s has to wait until they finish IDP to start taking test and many have presented this question in front of NCARB. A significant milestone occurred last June when the NCARB Board proposed a resolution at their 2006 Annual Meeting which would have changed the current Model Law recommendation that candidates only be made eligible to start taking the ARE after the candidate has completed IDP.  The implementation of this resolution is to be voted on this month at NCARB’s 2007 Annual Meeting.

Your Regional Associate Directors from the NAC have also been working with their respective state boards to lobby in support of IDP+ARE concurrency, and many have been vocal about benefits of concurrency. For some background on this issue, check out the article, “A Rallying Cry” by past NAC Advocacy Director Chris Reynolds as well as the AIArchitect article, “NCARB Votes to Allow Taking Portions of ARE Concurrent with IDP from the last NCARB Annual meeting.

What do you think about IDP+ARE?

ARE + IDP: How will it affect you?

Now that NCARB has passed a resolution indicating their stance on taking the ARE's while enrolled in IDP, what does this mean for you? Granted a handful of states already allow interns to take the exams ahead of IDP and many other states boards' licensing regulations have not changed as of yet, how has this new standpoint at NCARB affected your plans for licensure?
