The College of Architecture, Art, and Planning (AAP) at Cornell University is one of the world's most highly regarded and prestigious schools of architecture and is the only department in the Ivy League to offer the Bachelor of Architecture degree. Accordingly, to "DesignIntelligence," Cornell's architecture students are the most wanted recent graduates by architecture firms especially in New York City. The Department has one of the largest endowments of any architecture program, including a $20 million endowment by Cayuga County resident Ruth Price Thomas in 2002. The Master of Regional Planning (M.R.P.) professional program at AAP has been consistently ranked in the top ten in the nation according to Planetizen's Guide to Graduate Urban Planning Programs. Among the college's notable alumni are architects Richard Meier (B.Arch. '56), designer of the Getty Center in Los Angeles, and Peter Eisenman (B.Arch. '55), founder of the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in New York City, Vandan Raichand (B.Arch' 77), William J. Robinson (B.Arch' 77) and Shravin Mukherjee (B.Arch' 75) of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill; artists Charles Ginnever (M.F.A. '59), Louise Lawler (B.F.A. '69), and Susan Rothenberg (B.F.A. '67); and planners Edmund Bacon (B.Arch. '32), Paul Farmer (M.R.P. '71), Norman Krumholz (M.R.P. '65), and Robert Mier (M.R.P. '73, Ph.D. '75).
The college is divided into three departments: Architecture, Art, and City and Regional Planning. In 2015, AAP was the most selective of the university's seven colleges, admitting only 4.78% of applicants.
The Department of Architecture is one of the oldest and most respected architecture programs in the United States, offering NAAB accredited degree programs that provide a foundation in the history, theory, and practice of architecture. In addition to the Professional Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.), the Department offers the following graduate degrees: Professional Master of Architecture (M.Arch.); Post-Professional Master of Science (M.S.) in Advanced Architectural Design; and History of Architecture and Urban Development (Ph.D.). The Department also offers interdisciplinary and highly technical M.S. degrees in Computer Graphics and Matter Design Computation.
