Yale University

In August of 2008 each of these sites was searched with the search term license and architect (not enclosed in quotes). Pages returned (among the top ten hits) that included information regarding post-graduate internship and practice are noted shown beneath to the school.

If these results are an indicator of the commitment of these institutions to integrate their programs with the practice of architecture in the spirit recognized by the Boyer Report then there is a great deal of very serious work to be done. Please bring to my attention any such pages that I have overlooked so that I can add them to the list below.

Approximately one fourth of these websites return no pages whatsoever in response to the search, a disquieting result for any institution offering enrollment in an accredited program (these institutions are indicated in italics). Visit these websites to learn more about these schools and their programs.

a note on Yale (August 2008):

Would it not be reasonable to deduce from the image above that you are more likely to find a blue smurf at Yale than a licensed architect? (Yale reported zero licensed architects among faculty members to NAAB in 2006, apparently without consequence to the accreditation of its program. I have not reviewed the NAAB standards for colors for smurfs at accredited institutions of architecture; and although I am usually reluctant to speculate, I think we can assume that favorable consideration is given to blue.) Do the search yourself; that image is a fact, not an invention.
