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.
