The College of Architecture, Art, and Planning (AAP) at Cornell University was established in 1871 as the School of Architecture, offering the first four-year course of study in architecture in the United States. It is currently the smallest of the seven undergraduate colleges and schools, with an undergraduate enrollment of 547 and a faculty over 60. The college is divided into three departments: Architecture, Art and City and Regional Planning and also maintains a close relationship with the Department of Landscape Architecture, housed in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. The Almanac of Architecture and Design has consistently ranked Cornell's architecture program as number one in the nation.[[Citing sources citation needed]]
