The University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning is a college of the University of Cincinnati. Located in the university's main campus in Cincinnati, Ohio, the college, commonly referred to as DAAP, is one of the most highly-ranked design schools in the US.
For 2005, the graduate architecture program was ranked second in the nation after Harvard and ranked as the most innovative architecture program in the nation. The interior design program was ranked first in the nation, as well, in the annual survey of professionals conducted by DesignIntelligence. New to the list in 2005 was the school's Industrial Design program, making its way to the top of the list at #1, beating out the prestigious Art Center College of Design in California. The combination of these three top ranking disciplines gave the college of DAAP the title as the Best Art College in the nation. The University of Cincinnati was also the only public school listed in I.D. Magazine's list of the top ten design schools worldwide.
The college is distinguished for its mandatory co-operative education program, which was invented at the University of Cincinnati. Students alternate between working as paid employees in design firms and attending classes, giving them experience that enables them to easily enter the workplace after graduation. Students are required to spend a certain amount of time in the workplace, usually adding up to several years of job experience, before they are able to graduate. This extends most of the programs that would normally be four-year programs into five or more years.
