PhD in Architectural Sciences and Technology

This post-professional doctorate in design targets academics who already hold positions and want to earn the degree without leaving them. Candidates choose a low-residency route, studying mostly online with brief visits to a studio in Miami Beach, or a full-residency route that keeps them in Miami. Research is grouped under three themes: advanced technologies for design, studies of the environment, and the history, theory and criticism of design. The credential supports applied research and scholarship in both professional practice and higher education. Candidates are expected to add to design knowledge through original scholarship and innovation. Admission works in annual cycles, and the department posts the next submission date on its program page. Applicants should plan around the published deadline and review the residency options before applying.
