PhD in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Planning

People aiming at teaching and advanced research careers are the audience for this doctorate, which is run with the school of design and the Griffin Graduate School (GSAS). Subjects include the history and theory of buildings and landscapes, building technology and the form of cities through the ages. Research can also examine how buildings, cities, landscapes and regions are created and improved, with attention to social, economic, technological, ecological and infrastructure systems. One option is a technology track in which students study sustainable building, including computer modeling, environmental questions and energy use. The program does not qualify graduates for professional design licensure, nor does it lead to the doctor of design degree. Prospective students apply through GSAS. The program page pairs a short summary with links to learn more and to apply. It does not publish tuition, duration or deadline information, so applicants should confirm those details with the admitting school before planning.
