Cornell University - Department of Architecture

Cornell University is home to one of the oldest and most respected architecture programs in the United States. [NAAB-accredited](https://aap.cornell.edu/architecture/about-the-department-of-architecture/naab-accreditation/) undergraduate and graduate professional degree programs in architectural design provide a solid foundation in the history, theory, and practice of architecture, while graduate study in the History of Achitecture and Urban Development (HAUD) prepares scholars to be the next generation of academic leaders. An important feature of the HAUD doctoral program is its relatively small size, fostering a sense of intellectual community essential to teaching and research. The department’s core curricula are implemented by faculty from a variety of fields related to the discipline including architectural design, history of architecture and urban development, architectural theory, technology, and representation, and landscape architecture.
