The Architecture Program Report(APR) summarizes the professional program with information such as program descriptions, administrative structures, faculty / student information, curriculum and other resources.

The APR serves as a fundamental resource for the visiting team to prepare for a site visit and to utilize as a reference during a site visit. It is recommended that faculty members, students, administrative staffs collaborate to produce a comprehensive APR.

While the KAAB does not suggest any particular format or give out any specific forms, programs are encouraged to creatively produce a complete document within set guidelines. The KAAB maintains the right to reject any APR that does not conform to the guidelines.
