The Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts is the visual arts and design degree granting branch of Washington University in St. Louis. The Sam Fox School was created in 2006 by merging the existing Colleges of Art and Architecture and dedicated in honor of former ambassador Sam Fox.[1] The Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts combines the strengths of these fields into a single collaborative unit offering both undergraduate and graduate programs. The School comprises:
- College of Architecture
- Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design

Architecture
Architecture offers BS and BA degrees as well as M. Arch and MUD. There is a combined six-year BS and M. Arch degree program as well as joint M. Arch programs with most of the other schools in the University. In 2009, the journal DesignIntelligence ranked the Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Design No. 6 in the nation in its "America's Best Architecture & Design Schools" issue.
Art
Art offers the BFA and MFA in Art in the context of a full university environment. Students take courses in the College of Arts & Sciences as well as courses in the College of Art to provide a well-rounded background. One third of students in the school pursue a combined study degree program, second major, and/or minors in other undergraduate divisions at Washington University[citation needed]. U.S. News & World Report ranked the MFA program 15th in the nation in 2008.[2]
