The Yale School of Architecture is one of the constituent professional schools of Yale University. It had its beginnings in the long history of interest that Yale has had in art. "Art was first taught at an American college or university in 1869 when the Yale School of the Fine Arts was established. Even earlier, in 1832, Yale opened the Trumbull Art Gallery, the first college-affiliated gallery in the country. The Department of Architecture was established in the School of the Fine Arts in 1916. In 1959 the School of Art and Architecture, as it was then known, was made into a fully graduate professional school. In 1972 Yale designated the School of Architecture as its own separate professional school."[1]

In addition to offering a course of study for undergraduates in Yale College which leads to a Bachelor of Arts, the school awards the graduate degrees of Master of Architecture and Master of Environmental Design. The school is generally regarded as one of the world's most prestigious architecture schools, with an amazingly low acceptance rate and hundreds of famous graduates including George Nelson, Eero Saarinen, James Polshek, Sir Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, Charles Gwathmey, David Childs, Andres Duany, William McDonough and Maya Lin; and, faculty members including Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Peter Eisenman, Greg Lynn, Demetri Porphyrios and Robert A. M. Stern, the Dean of the School.

The School's main building, the Yale Art & Architecture Building (or "A + A Building") is the masterpiece of the school's former dean, Paul Rudolph.
