Average internship in 2009 in Nebraska: 10.89 years.

This is a chart of only those architects who sat for the exam in Nebraska, all active licensees from 1947 to the present.

Oregon is coming soon.

cool. very interesting - I'm a Nebraska candidate now. Started IDP in 2006 while still in school, graduated 2008, started exam in August 2009 and have 3 more to take - hope to be done amd licensed by Spring 2010. That'll put me significantly below average (2 years post graduation) knock on wood!

I credit my ability to zip through IDP to better than average employers, but really fantastic internships while still in school - most of my really difficult IDP categories (ie project management, office management, etc) were easy thanks to those experiences. My difficulty has actually been the CD & Engineering Coordination hours.

I've posted another chart (likely the last, I doubt I will be able to procure more information from any of the other state boards) showing similar statistics for Oregon. The pdf is posted at

We've updated the stairwaytoarchitecture.com site, and added a forum at http://www.stairwaytoarchitecture.co...back/index.php for those interested in discussing licensure and internship issues related to the statistics. Anyone is welcome to drop by there.

The average duration of internship for architects who became licensed in Oregon in 2009 is 8.96 years. The chart breaks this down by M.Arch and B.Arch degrees.

To summarize the results so far for internship in 2009, NY: 11.06 years; Nebraska: 10.86 years; Oregon: 8.96 years.

You must be referring to the forum's human pinata, a good source for comedy.

Relax.

Don't worry.... 3 years is required. Covering all training areas of course.

Yes I did meant Eeyore.

But 3 years is what is required (but all training areas). Of course, it can take more then that to get the required hours in each training area.
