College of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning

Programs within the University of Cincinnati's College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP) are ranked among the U.S. and world's very best year-after-year. Within DAAP, students have the opportunity to work with fellow students, faculty and industry leaders in all of our disciplines and from throughout the university, including business, engineering, medicine and more. Bearcats engage in real-world projects brought to us by regional, national and even international clients. The goal: improving the quality of life through innovations in art and design.

What's more, many of our programs include cooperative education. In cooperative education, students alternate quarters or semesters in the classroom with quarters or semesters of paid, professional work. UC's co-op program is ranked among the Top 10 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. Via co-op, our students literally work around the globe to expand their educational options while building impressive resumes and professional networks. It's safe to say: no design program in the nation can match UC's co-op program.

Our accolades are accompanied by a great responsibility to our students. We are dedicated to living up to our acclaim by both challenging our students academically while supporting them personally in a place where students are engaged, prepared for lifelong practice and invited to lead in their respective fields.

DAAP has four unique cross-disciplinary schools:

• School of Architecture and Interior Design
• School of Art
