This program enables students to simultaneously pursue the three essential components for licensure, i.e. Education (NAAB accredited degree), Experience (AXP), Examination (ARE 5.9), and thereby reduce the overall time required to obtain an architectural license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IPAL option offered by the Department of Architecture at Texas A&amp;M University was approved by NCARB in July 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How it Works at Texas A&amp;M University<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The next section summarizes the IPAL process at Texas A&amp;M by semester. Students who transfer to the BED program or who have attained the milestones without previously being enrolled may apply to join their academic year level cohort during the fall semester of each year. Several students who join our Master of Architecture degree program have already recorded considerable AXP experience with NCARB. They are advised to meet with the IPAL &amp; AXP advisor to apply for admission to the appropriate IPAL cohort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information contact:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Valerian Miranda<\/strong>, Ph.D., FIIA<br>IPAL &amp; AXP Advisor<br>Department of Architecture<br>Email:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:COA-IPAL@arch.tamu.edu\">COA-IPAL@arch.tamu.edu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"btn-wrapper \">\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn--callout\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncarb.org\/earn-a-degree\/ipal\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"far fa-long-arrow-right btn__icon-left\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t-eyebrow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIntegrated Path to Architectural Licensure (IPAL)\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn--callout\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncarb.org\/gain-axp-experience\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"far fa-long-arrow-right btn__icon-left\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t-eyebrow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tArchitecture Experience Program (AXP)\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn--callout\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncarb.org\/pass-the-are\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"far fa-long-arrow-right btn__icon-left\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t-eyebrow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tArchitectural Registration Examination (ARE)\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IPAL @ Texas A&amp;M Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Integrated Path to Architectural Licensure (IPAL) option offered by the Department of Architecture follows the normal curriculum as the Bachelor of Environmental Design (BED) degree and the Master of Architecture (MArch) degree. In addition, IPAL students receive mentoring and guidance in obtaining employment that will accumulate AXP credit toward licensure. IPAL students will have exclusive access to study materials and aids when they are ready to begin taking the Architectural Registration Examination (ARE 5.0). There are no additional academic costs to be enrolled in IPAL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a summary of the model IPAL option by semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enter Bachelor of Environmental Design (BED) degree program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">YEAR 1<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fall: <\/strong>14 credit hours of coursework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spring: <\/strong>17 credit hours of coursework, students introduced to the IPAL option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summer:<\/strong>\u00a0Students may choose to gain AXP in advance of IPAL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">YEAR 2<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fall: <\/strong>17 credit hours of coursework. 2<sup>nd<\/sup> year students invited to apply for IPAL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spring: <\/strong>16 credit hours of coursework.
