Participate in NAAB ICert Visits!

Help Shape the Future of Global Architectural Education

NAAB invites international students, recent graduates, and educators affiliated with an ICert program to consider becoming a volunteer site visitor.

Site visitors join a diverse team that reviews architecture programs seeking NAAB International Certification. These visits provide a unique opportunity to experience the ICert process as a reviewer while making meaningful contributions to the field of architectural education.
