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.
