Architecture students do well on national accreditation exam

Mississippi State architecture graduates consistently did better than their counterparts nationally on the latest professional accreditation test.

Figures released recently by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards show the percentage of Mississippi State graduates passing in each category to be from 14 to 45 points higher than the national average. Graduates must pass the entire nine-part exam before becoming registered architects.

Architecture Dean John McRae said Mississippi State graduates "have consistently scored high" in comparison to other top regional and national programs. The exam is administered once a year in all 50 states, he added. "This exam is a measure both of their preparation at school and their involvement as interns in professional offices," McRae said.

The Mississippi State architecture school is the only one in the state, enrolling about 270 undergraduate and graduate students. The faculty includes 15 full-time and eight adjunct members.
