Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Architecture Licensing

In 2020, NCARB and the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) launched a joint study to identify how minority professionals experience obstacles on the path to licensure. Findings from the study highlight areas where our organizations can provide additional support, conduct deeper research, and propose measurable solutions to address disparities.

Findings from the study are being released in several parts. The following reports are currently available:

In the coming months, NCARB and NOMA will release a compiled report and a suggested action plan of solutions to address impediments identified throughout the study.
