In partnership with the University of Miami School of Architecture, CNU has developed a certification program for members that distinguishes them as CNU-Accredited. CNU-A is an impressive way for members to highlight their expertise and knowledge of New Urbanist principles and stand out among the many planners, architects and designers in the market.

 

The CNU-A distinction is achieved by passing the CNU/University of Miami Accreditation Exam, for which summer registration is now open. Access to the exam will open September 29th, 2011 and those who register now will be in plenty of time to take the optional University of Miami online course,  The Principles and Practice of New Urbanism, which provides preparation for the exam. Further information regarding CNU-A can be gleaned from our CNU Accreditation Handbook.
