Undergraduate Information Sessions
Join us for information sessions this fall to explore undergraduate programs available at AAP.
Undergraduate Admissions
At Cornell AAP, we teach and practice architecture, the fine arts, city and regional planning, real estate, and design technology to build a more sustainable, just, and resilient world.
AAP's Office of Admissions helps prospective first-year students, transfer applicants, and their families explore programs in architecture, art, and planning. We provide information about the college, the undergraduate application process, admissions requirements, and deadlines.
