PhD[edit]

Is this equivalent in standard to a PhD? or is it higher? Sweetie candykim (talk) 23:52, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The degree is considered a Doctorate in the same way a PhD is a Doctorate, the purposes of the degrees differ as the Doctorate of Architecture is accredited by NAAB to count towards an education for professional practice, a PhD in architecture would be valuable in an academic setting but may not be as valued in professional practice as additional years of axp would be required to satisfy state architecture board requirements.
