Princeton University School of Architecture

Princeton University School of Architecture is the school of architecture of Princeton University. The School of Architecture offers an undergraduate major and advanced degrees at the master's and doctoral levels.

In 1832, Professor Joseph Henry, who later became the first secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, taught the first course in architecture at Princeton University. By 1915, a committee was formed to consider the establishment of a school of architecture. In 1919, the School of Architecture formally opened.

During its formative years, the School of Architecture's pedagogy was guided by some of the best architectural educators of the time: Howard Crosby Butler, E. Raymond Bossange, Frederick D'Amato, Sherley Warner Morgan, and Jean Labatut. Visitors and teachers included leaders like Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Richard Neutra, and R. Buckminster Fuller.

Robert Geddes was appointed the first Dean of the School of Architecture. Under his direction, the School of Architecture grew in size and became more fully integrated with other departments within Princeton University. As the School of Architecture expanded, it began attracting notable architects as teachers, including Louis I. Kahn, Mario Salvadori, Michael Graves, Kenneth Frampton, Peter Eisenman, Diana Agrest, Robert Geddes, Alan Colquhoun, Michael Hays, Scott Cohen, and Anthony Vidler.
