Designintellegence has named Cornell University as having the best undergraduate architecture course in the US, while Harvard University is named as providing the best graduate course, according to its annual ranking.

As reported by archdaily.com, '1,400 professional practice organizations were surveyed and asked to respond to the question: "In your firm's hiring experience in the past five years, which of the following schools are best preparing students for success in the profession?" In addition, more than 3,800 architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, and industrial design students were also surveyed about their education, in data presented separately from the rankings.'
