The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science with a major in architecture, Bachelor of Science with a major in urban technology, Master of Architecture, Master of Science in Architecture - Digital and Material Technologies, Master of Urban Planning, Master of Urban Design, and PhD programs.
Originally a degree program established in 1906 within the Department of Engineering, it became the College of Architecture in 1930 and renamed the College of Architecture and Design in 1939. In 1974, the college was separated into the College of Architecture and Urban Planning and the School of Art and Design. The former was renamed after A. Alfred Taubman for his US$30 million donation to the college in May 1999. The gift was one of the largest in the history of the University of Michigan and the largest ever to a school of architecture.
