Canadian Universities With Architectural Degree Programs

The Canadian Architectural Certification Board is the only body in Canada that is certified to accredit architectural programs offered in Canadian Universities. Every provincial architectural association recommends following an accredited program to become an architect in Canada.

Accredited undergraduate programs in architecture are pre-professional programs. Graduates of these programs learn the foundations of architecture and are able to apply to a professional program at the graduate level.

Professional Graduate programs are designed to give students the skills and theory they need for a career as an architect. Post-professional graduate programs are designed for trained architects who want to pursue graduate level academic research in their field.
