In 2005, the AIA National Associates Committee, ArchVoices and NCARB launched the second Internship & Career Survey, an effort to document the recent history and present state of architectural internship and registration. The information will be used independantly as well as in comparison studies with the 2003 Internship & Career Survey to set the tone for discussion on internship within the AIA.

Data was collected via the internet between March 30 and April 15, 2005. A total of 9,929 qualified and usable responses were received from the sample of 46,831.
