College Credit with the NKBA

The partnership between NKBA and Thomas Edison State College of New Jersey enables NKBA certified members to earn college credits. NKBA-certified kitchen and bath designers and educators set the standard for the industry. In recognition of that, individuals who have earned their AKBD, CKD, CBD, CKE, CBE, and CMKBD certifications are eligible to receive up to 54 credits toward either an associate’s or bachelor of science degree in Kitchen & Bath Design from Thomas Edison State College in New Jersey.

Thomas Edison State College is a regionally accredited college. It’s also a distance learning institution, so members can take any classes required online. As a further benefit to all NKBA members, the NKBA has arranged for its members to pay tuition comparable with the rate that New Jersey residents are charged to attend this state college. This rate is applicable to any course in any degree program.
