UNC Charlotte\u2019s David R. Ravin School of Architecture was one of the first programs to adopt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncarb.org\/become-architect\/ipal\">IPAL<\/a>, which provides students an opportunity to complete the experience and examination requirements for licensure concurrently with the education requirement.<br><br>By integrating the education, experience, and examination requirements of licensure, IPAL helps students prepare for life after college by: Connecting education to current architectural practice; Jumpstarting their careers with work experience and networking; Making students eligible for licensure after graduation by completing licensure requirements; Opening up career opportunities through licensure; and Helping students manage the financial burden of earning a degree, both by interweaving paid employment opportunities around academic requirements and by qualifying them for higher paying positions.
