Manipal School of Architecture and Planning (MSAP) had a modest beginning under the Department of Civil Engineering offering specialization in Architecture. Since 32 years from its inception, the college has broadened its horizon by introducing new academic and extension programmes and promoting research activities in Architecture. In 1980, MSAP was affiliated to Mangalore University and named as the Department of Architecture. In 2003, Manipal University renamed the Department of Architecture as Faculty of Architecture. Finally, the school came under recognition of the Council of Architecture in 2009 and later in 2010, it became an Independent School of Architecture and Planning. MSAP Manipal provides various academic programs in Architecture at Bachelor, Master, and Doctoral degree levels.
