The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (@NCARB), in collaboration with the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA), and the Coalition of Community College Architecture Programs (@cccarch), invites you to what we hope will be an ongoing series of conversations about architectural education and the preparation of students for architectural licensure.⁠ ⁠ Join us for two virtual gatherings on May 29-30, 2025, where we will discuss the continuum of architectural education and the preparation of students for licensure, focusing on existing successes and future opportunities.⁠ ⁠ Building on the success of the 2023 ACSA Convening to Advance Community College Transfer and Articulation in Architectural Education in Philadelphia, PA, we hope to continue conversations on strengthening articulation between community colleges and professional and pre-professional architecture programs.⁠ ⁠ Visit the #LinkInBio to sign-up today!⁠ ⁠ #ACSA #NCARB #CCCAP #CommunityCollege #Articulation #Architecture #HigherEducation #Virtual #Conference #ArchitectureProgram

Last week, Dr. Kendall Nicholson, ACSA’s Senior Director of Research, Equity and Education, presented at the Society of Architectural Historians' (@sah1365) 78th Annual International Conference in Atlanta. The session “Lessons Learned: Architectural Studies Programs in Schools of Architecture” invited educators and administrators in architectural history and architecture to discuss the value of Architectural Studies programs.⁠ ⁠ “In addition to architectural history, it was great to see SAH’s expanded field to include preservation, history, planning and architecture,” said Nicholson. “Affiliate groups at the SAH allow members to gather around similar research topics, and it was an honor to be invited to the Architectural Studies affiliate group.”⁠ ⁠ Throughout the session, attendees shared their insights, expertise, and questions about the future of architectural education.⁠ ⁠ Visit the #LinkInBio to learn more about SAH.⁠ ⁠ #ACSA #SAH #SAH2025 #Conference #Architecture #ArchitecturalEducation #ArchitecturalStudies

In recognition of National Community College Month, we encourage you to browse the ACSA Transfer Toolkit: Best Practices for Facilitating Community College Transfer. ⁠ ⁠ ✅ Community colleges foster diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) within the architectural field by providing entry points for students from diverse ethnic, socioeconomic, and age backgrounds who might otherwise lack opportunities to pursue architectural studies. ⁠ ⁠ ✅ Does your institution aspire to become more transfer-friendly? Use this checklist created by the 2024 ACSA Education Committee to self-assess your progress. ⁠ ⁠ ✅ Visit the #LinkInBio to read the full resource.⁠ ⁠ #ACSA #ArchitecturalEducation #NationalCommunityCollegeMonth #Transfer #Toolkit #CommunityCollege #HigherEd #Articulation

In the context of destabilizing attacks on higher education and the disappointment and disagreement among our community regarding the ACSA Board’s decision to halt work on Issue 79.2 of the Journal of Architectural Education (JAE), titled Palestine, we invite all members to participate in a discussion about this evolving landscape. This Member Caucus will continue opportunities to discuss ways that ACSA and member schools can work together and independently to address the broad political threats challenging our shared values and goals. We invite reflections on the division within our diverse organization and feedback on future communication, decision-making, and collaboration that bring our community together. ⁠ ⁠ Visit the #LinkInBio to sign up for the discussion.

This Black History Month, join us in celebrating the illustrious architecture programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). ⁠ Of the 139 NAAB-accredited schools of architecture, seven are HBCUs. They are:⁠ —Florida A&M University (@famusaet)⁠ ⁠ —Hampton University (@hampton.arch)⁠ ⁠ —Howard University (@howard.architecture)⁠ ⁠ —Morgan State University (@morgansap)⁠ ⁠ —Prairie View A&M University (@soapvamu)⁠ ⁠ —Tuskegee University (@tuskegeeuniversity)⁠ ⁠ —University of the District of Columbia (@universityofdc)⁠ ⁠ HBCUs are an essential part of making the architecture field diverse and equitable.

We are pleased to have these schools as ACSA Members and proud of their work in advancing opportunities for Black students.⁠ ⁠ #ACSA #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM #HBCU #BlackArchitects #Architecture #FAMU #HU #MorganState #PVAMU #Tuskegee #UDC
