The curriculum in architecture was established in 1907, making Auburn one of the first universities in the nation, and the first in the South, to offer architecture as a major. Over the past century, the School of Architecture, Planning, and Landscape Architecture (APLA) has grown to include four allied degree programs: Architecture/Interior Architecture, Community Planning, Landscape Architecture, and Integrated Design and Construction. APLA is committed to a model of professional education that embraces design and planning creativity, social responsibility, historical perspective, technical competence, and global environmental consciousness, and prepares our students for leadership in their respective disciplines and in their communities. The programs of APLA have enjoyed a strong reputation for the abilities of our graduates and the quality of our faculty, and are consistently ranked among the best in the country in their respective disciplines. For nine consecutive years, the Auburn Architecutre Program has been ranked in the top twenty architecture programs nationally by DesignIntelligence.
