Learn About University of Maine System Architecture Programs Requiring Licensure or State Authorization
On this page, you will find a list of programs throughout the University of Maine System in which students may seek state authorization or licensure upon graduation from the program.
Individual schools and programs must disclose whether completion of a licensure or certification program meets state educational requirements for licensure or certification in the state in which the student lives or intends to reside. Students who will be living on campus or in Maine are considered to be located in Maine for the purpose of meeting the licensure requirements for a given program. If your intention is to work in a state other than Maine upon graduation, the University of Maine System strongly encourages you to check into the licensure requirements in those states. Visit an individual program page to find contact information and learn more about the program’s licensure and state authorization requirements.

Once you have reciprocity then you can practice in the new jurisdiction. Please see the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards website (External Site) for specific jurisdiction requirements.
