PhD Program in Architecture

 

 

 

 

 The Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture (Ph.D.) program is for those advanced graduate students who plan to pursue careers in the academic and research fields and/or in the area of advanced professional practice within the domain of architecture. The rigor of study required for the Ph.D. degree extends the discipline of advanced research and design beyond the master degree and is oriented toward professional applications and academic advancement.

The program requires a comprehensive knowledge of architecture, a deep understanding of its accomplishments and developments, and critical inquiry that extends its frontiers.
The program combines coursework and research, culminating in a Ph.D. dissertation of extensive, independent, and original investigation which could also lead to the design development. The research in some cases may be an extension of work in the preparation of the Master of Architecture degree of the College of Architecture. Each student's program of study will include seminars, specialized and elective course work, research, and design as preparation for the dissertation.

This year, we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of our program. It has been 10 years of contributing knowledge to architectural community.
