The National Council of Architectural Registration Board (NCARB) this weekend announced the acceptance of five additional schools into its Integrated Path to Architectural Licensure (IPAL) initiative. The two-year-old program [https://www.ncarb.org/become-architect/ipal] enables students to garner Architectural Experience Program (AXP) credits while still in school, as well as to take all divisions of the Architectural Registration Exam (ARE) before graduating.

The new participating schools are the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT), Boston Architectural College, Florida International University, University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Southern Illinois University.
