In 2005, the pass rate of our graduates ranked among the TOP 15 in the US ARCHITECTURAL REGISTRATION EXAM (84% on average in the 9 section exam, 72% being the national norm).
In one particular division of the exam, Building Planning (division # 8, the exam “architectural core”), our graduates' pass rate (81%) was higher than the pass rates of almost ALL the other 107 US accredited programs, including the most prestigious ones. Apart from the graduates of two schools which had a limited number of candidates taking that exam section, KSU graduates’ pass rate ranked
# 1 in the US
