The National Council of the Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) has released its latest NCARB by the Numbers report that offers a glimpse at the profession through statistics on licensure, education, and experience. Unveiled July 22, the 2021 edition of the annual data publication is the first time, in its decade-long history, that the report includes data on Architect Registration Examination® (ARE®) pass rates by demographics.
This year’s data was collected from some 32,700 test takers and shows that white candidates were more likely to pass the ARE than those of color, and males were more likely to pass than females (although the findings show that Black or African American women outperform Black or African American men). Similarly, candidates aged 18 to 29 have the highest pass rates, while those 40 and older have the lowest.
