The Caribbean School of
Architecture (CSA) is one of two schools in the Faculty of the
Built Environment (FOBE). It was established in 1988 on behalf of
the English-speaking independent states of the Caribbean. It was
mandated to provide both pre-professional and professional degrees
in architecture.
The School, as an architectural
training centre, is committed to the investigation of the role of
architecture and architects within the social and economic
structure of the Caribbean and beyond. To achieve this, the School
has developed a strong research base and has established links
across the language barriers of the Region.
Many architects and professional
organizations have given much of their time, expertise and
commitment to the School and remain active in the School’s
development
The Commonwealth Association of
Architects (CAA) is mandated as the accreditation body for the
Bachelor of Arts in Architectural Studies (B.A.A.S.) and the
Master of Architecture (M.Arch) degrees. Both degrees were
accredited in November 2001. The B.A. in Architectural Studies and
the Master of Architecture degree are equivalent to Parts 1 and 2
of the CAA requirements. Part 3 (Professional Practice) is subject
to the requirements of the local institutes of architects and/or
registration acts.
