## History

PAB was founded in 1984, when it was deemed necessary to assess the quality of urban planning education and encourage excellence in higher education. Prior to this formal accreditation process, there was a recognition program in place administered by the National Education Development Committee (NEDC) of the American Institute of Planners (AIP).[2]

The PAB reviews undergraduate and graduate urban planning degree programs in the United States and Canada . Programs must meet their standards and criteria in order to receive accreditation. They are recognized by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation and are a member of the Association of Professional and Specialized Accreditors.
