IPAL, the Integrated Path to Architecture Licensure initiative, allows for the integration of the three components of licensure: the Architectural Experience Program (AXP), professional education (BArch or MArch) and the Architect Registration Examination (ARE).

Students interested in joining IPAL may contact us at [email protected]. While applications are due in January of each year, students may start working toward licensure at any time. Over 40 firms have hired our IPAL students since the program began in 2016. Please visit our IPAL page for additional information.

We have collected all of the fundamental resources needed to study for the Architect听Registration Examination (ARE),听beginning with links to basic information about the exam, through study guides and听access to all of the source materials recommended by NCARB covering exam topics. Our goal is to make as much as possible available in a digital format with e-books that you can 鈥渃heck out鈥� from our library.

We have also planned a series of study seminars with the American Institute of Architects San Fernando Valley chapter. Currently, we recommend remote seminars offered by the AIA San Francisco, which are open to all.

Take the time to research scholarships and competitions. We maintain a list of scholarships and can help you with your scholarship application(s).

Also consider entering a competition 鈥� there are lots of design competitions, so be selective and work with a faculty advisor who can advise you throughout the design and submission process. Some firms, such as ZGF Architects, offer internships tied to their scholarship programs. Not only do you receive scholarship funds to pay for your education, but you gain valuable experience working in the firm.
