NCARB Releases Demographic Data on Architecture Licensing and Exam Performance
For the past decade, NCARB has helped shape national conversations about the architecture profession by providing exclusive data on the number of architects, the pathway to licensure, and demographics. This year marks the 10-year anniversary of the organization’s annual data publication, NCARB by the Numbers, which has grown in scope to include sections on attrition and representation along career stages.
The 2021 edition includes a new section on Architect Registration Examination® (ARE®) pass rates by several demographic categories. The six-division ARE, which is developed and administered by NCARB, is a key step on the path to earning an architecture license and is required by all state licensing boards.
