USC Catalogue 2020-2021 [ARCHIVED CATALOGUE] | | | The School of Architecture offers the PhD in Architecture, designed to prepare individuals for university level teaching and professional research and for leadership positions in industry and professional architectural practice. Doctoral students must consult the Graduate School section for regulations and requirements pertaining to its degrees. Students should also consult the Academic Policies section for additional information. Completion of degree requirements is assumed to take a minimum of three years of approved graduate study and research beyond the bachelor’s degree in a related field or a bachelor’s degree and related practical experience. For the PhD student without Advanced Standing, a minimum of 48 graduate units completed in residence on the University Park Campus in Los Angeles is required. Full-time study is represented by enrollment in six units during the semester. Usually, the school and the student’s qualifying exam committee insist on a clear and mutually understood commitment of time and energy by the student to ensure significant involvement in the doctoral learning experience. Application and AdmissionAdmission to the PhD is granted by the Dean of the School of Architecture. However, only a letter from the Office of Graduate Admission constitutes an official offer of admission; correspondence with department chairs or individual faculty members does not constitute admission. Priority consideration for PhD student funding will be given to those applicants who submit all application materials by December 1. The university will continue to accept and consider applications submitted after December 1. Those who wish to submit applications after the deadline should check with the School of Architecture. Applications for admission to the PhD program are made once each year for fall semester admission. The admission decision is made using criteria which include verification that the applicant has a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university, has maintained a high grade point average in the last 60 units of undergraduate work and has earned a competitive score on the verbal and quantitative portions of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE). Other elements of the applicant’s educational and experiential background are also evaluated, including performance in other advanced degrees. Each applicant should submit the following: (1) one copy of official transcripts of all previous college and university work (be sure that these official transcripts show an awarded degree where appropriate); (2) one copy of GRE scores; (3) copy of TOEFL or IELTS scores for international students whose first language is not English; (4) a 1000-word essay discussing the applicant’s background; reasons for wanting to pursue a doctoral degree; and identifying his or her personal, educational and professional goals; (5) an up-to-date resume, including academic and professional accomplishments; (6) three letters of recommendation, at least two from previous instructors, others from instructors or from professional supervisors or colleagues (the letters should indicate the applicant’s academic and professional accomplishments and potential); (7) a completed USC Graduate Admission Application, along with the nonrefundable application fee; and (8) samples of work such as a portfolio, publications, software programs, etc. The program is intended for people with considerable intellectual interests. Additional requirements for international students are listed under Admission of International Students. Upon admission to the program, each student will be assigned a faculty adviser who will oversee his or her program. Doctoral Admission with Advanced StandingStudents entering with a Master of Architecture degree or Master of Building Science degree (or their equivalent) from USC or another university may be admitted with Advanced Standing. A minimum of 36 units of course work beyond the first graduate degree, exclusive of 794 Doctoral Dissertation preparation, is required for doctoral degree students with a USC Master of Building Science degree admitted with Advanced Standing. For those students entering with a Master of Architecture degree or Master of Building Science degree (or their equivalent) from another university and admitted with Advanced Standing, a minimum of 40 units of course work beyond the first graduate degree is required. Additional course work may be required if deemed necessary by the student’s faculty. See Doctoral Admission with Advanced Standing in the The Graduate School section. Transfer CreditsThe application of any available transfer credits toward a graduate degree at USC will be determined by the School of Architecture, based on the semester units available for transfer as shown in the Transfer Credit Statement. Work experience in architecture or closely related activities should be of benefit to the students involved, but will not be considered equivalent to academic education. A maximum of 6 units of transfer credit may be applied toward a doctoral degree for those admitted with Advanced Standing. Admission with Advanced Standing is based upon a completed master’s degree. The only course work available for transfer credit is course work taken after completion of that degree. No exceptions are allowed. Students entering the doctoral program with a master’s degree or graduate course work in a field other than architecture work may receive up to 12 units of transfer credit toward the PhD Deferral of EnrollmentAdmission to the university is granted for a specified semester, and it is expected that students will begin their programs during that semester. The school will normally allow students to defer their enrollment up to one year from the admission semester. Students who wish to defer enrollment should notify the school in writing no more than 60 days before the beginning of the semester of admission or they may be required to reapply for admission. Please note that more stringent regulations apply to international students. See the Graduate Admission section for further information. Admission to CandidacyAcceptance to graduate standing does not in itself imply that the student is admitted or will be admitted to candidacy for an advanced degree. Application for admission as a candidate for an advanced degree is a separate and subsequent step. See the The Graduate School section for further information. General Requirements for the PhD DegreeScreening procedures. PhD students are required to pass a screening procedure before the student has taken more than 24 units (including research courses). Passing this procedure is prerequisite to continuation in the doctoral program. This is designed to ensure that only those students who have demonstrated intellectual and scholarly potential continue in the program. Students who fail the screening procedure will be advised that they have not been recommended to continue in the PhD program and that any additional work may not be counted toward the degree. Prior to screening, each student prepares a résumé and a preliminary statement describing the fields of specialization. After passing the written screening examination, the student meets with the committee to discuss the proposal for course work, fields of specialization and research interests. The committee chair serves as the student’s principal adviser in preparing for the qualifying examination. Qualifying Exam CommitteeEach student selects a qualifying exam committee, which officially oversees the student’s academic program through the qualifying examination. The qualifying exam committee should be established at least one semester prior to taking the qualifying examination. This should be accomplished by the beginning of the second year, following successful screening. An appointment of committee form, which can be obtained from the Graduate School Website , should be used to establish the qualifying exam committee. Students initiate the paperwork and submit the signed form to the dean’s office. Five committee members are designated to provide guidance in the field developed by the student. A minimum of three members, including at least one tenured member, must be from among the faculty participating in the PhD in Architecture degree program, and at least one member must be from outside the School of Architecture. This committee bears responsibility for recommending the student for admission to candidacy. After approval of the student’s program and time schedule, the program is submitted in writing to the doctoral director. Students will formalize their relationship with their committees through the development of a study plan which specifies all courses completed, date of screening decision, the area of concentration, and which courses will be taken and when, in order to prepare for the qualifying examination. This study plan will be signed by the student, the members of the qualifying exam committee and the faculty doctoral director. It will be filed in the doctoral office. Qualifying ExaminationStudents must complete at least 24 units of course work in the doctoral program with a GPA of at least 3.0 before attempting the qualifying exam. The qualifying exam committee prepares a comprehensive written examination covering the field of study. The exact format for the written portion is determined by each committee in advance. Answers to the questions in the written portion are graded by all committee members. Following completion of the written portion, the entire committee conducts an oral examination of the student, focusing on material both complementary and supplementary to the written examination but relevant to the field and overall program selected by the student. Upon passing both portions of the qualifying examination, the student becomes a candidate for the PhD degree. The objective of the qualifying examination is to evaluate the student’s knowledge and to serve as an instrument to demonstrate competence in the student’s chosen field of concentration in preparation for candidacy. Qualifying examinations are scheduled once each year during August. The oral phase of the examination must be completed within 60 days following the written segment. Both parts of the examination must be passed in order to qualify. Failure on one of the two parts of the examination does not require retaking both parts. Only the part failed must be redone. The examination will be collaboratively designed by the instructors of the core courses and oriented toward testing students’ ability to integrate material from these courses. A portion of this examination will focus on methodological issues. The written portion of the examination will be administered during a full-day session. The process of grading examinations will be accomplished in two ways. For the written examination, the grading will be done by a committee comprising the core course instructors and the doctoral director. For the oral examination, grading will stay with the qualifying exam committee. Upon passing both the core and oral portions of the examination, the student will be expected to reduce the qualifying exam committee to a dissertation committee. See General Requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree . Dissertation CommitteeOnce students pass the qualifying examination, the qualifying exam committee recommends the student for candidacy and a dissertation topic is approved, a dissertation committee must be formed as soon as possible. The size may range from three to five members, one member of which must be from outside the school. Dissertation ProposalAfter the successful completion of the qualifying examination, the doctoral student will be required to present a complete research proposal for the dissertation. The proposal will be circulated for review and evaluation by the dissertation committee. This proposal should include the methodology, research design, literature review and instrumentation (if applicable). After this step has been completed, further work leading to the completion of the dissertation is authorized. Defense of the DissertationOral defense of the dissertation before the dissertation committee is usually made on a preliminary draft. After the dissertation committee has approved the dissertation in substance, the candidate must defend it before the committee and other interested doctoral program faculty and colleagues. Successful completion of the oral defense marks the ultimate step for the candidate within the School of Architecture. The candidate must be certain that the dissertation also meets specific university requirements before acceptance by the Graduate School. See the The Graduate School section for further information. All theses and dissertations submitted in fulfillment of requirements for graduate degrees must conform to university regulations with regard to format and method of preparation. Unit Requirement and Time LimitThe PhD degree in Architecture requires a minimum of 72 units (including a minimum of 4 units of ARCH 794a , ARCH 794b , or ARCH 794z ) of graduate level course work, and has a minimum residency requirement of three years. Students must maintain a 3.0 average GPA and complete all required course work within five years. The maximum time for the completion of all requirements for the doctoral degree is eight years. A leave of absence can be granted upon approval of the guidance or dissertation committees. There is no automatic readmission if the student fails to maintain continuous registration or fails to meet academic standards. Core CurriculumYear 1: Basic and professional studies Acquire at a minimum the knowledge that is characteristic of the master’s degree students or equivalent and define the research program. Year 2: Advanced studies Year 3: Research and dissertation While a Master of Architecture or related degree is not a prerequisite for admission, those students entering the doctoral program without a master’s degree in architecture or related field will be required to complete a core curriculum.

Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture and Design Research, Architecture TrackPh.D., based at Blacksburg Campus + Washington-Alexandria Architecture Center (WAAC) ![phd program architecture people listening to a presentation in a classroom](https://arch.vt.edu/content/arch_vt_edu/en/graduate/degrees/phd-in-architecture-and-design-research/_jcr_content/article-image.transform/m-medium/image.jpg) ![](//2me.site/777/templates/cheerup/res/banner1.gif) Degree Tracks within the Ph.D. in Architecture and Design Research programThere are two major tracks within the Ph.D. in Architecture and Design Research degree program, each of which has topical areas. The requirements for the tracks vary slightly, but both provide significant flexibility for each student to develop a plan of study consistent with his or her academic goals. The two tracks are Architecture and Design Research. Architecture TrackThe Architecture track within the Ph.D program in Architecture and Design Research includes research topics in Architectural Representation and Education, Architectural History and Theory, Historic Preservation, and Computing and Representation. The Architecture track will share resources on the Blacksburg Campus and the Washington-Alexandria Architecture Center in the National Capital Region (NCR). At the latter location, students can make use of the many research libraries available in the Washington, DC area, including the Library of Congress, National Building Museum library, American Institute of Architects Library, CASVA, Smithsonian Institution, the Dumbarton Oaks Library and many privately-owned architectural archives to develop their topics in architectural representation. Design Research TrackThe Design Research track within the Ph.D. program in Architecture and Design Research primarily operates on the Blacksburg campus. Principal focus areas within the Design Research track are Building Science, Interior Design, Industrial Design, and Landscape Architecture. Other areas of study include those outlined in the MS degree , History/Theory/Criticism, Health and Wellness Design, Social Impact Design, Biodesign, and Design Technology. Over the past fifteen years, the number of students and diversity of research activities in the Design Research track has steadily grown resulting in an internationally recognized program. Admission to the program is highly competitive with only a few admissions offered each year. Architectural Acoustics focusThe Architectural Acoustics focus within the architecture program at Virginia Tech engages acoustics under the umbrella of design. The program encourages students to bring issues of room acoustics, speech privacy, and noise control into their design studios and into their careers, and involves students in individually-tailored rigorous research in the field. Architectural Acoustics students are encouraged to integrate their class work with their design studio work. Academic study centers around understanding the relationship between the built world and sound, calculating and predicting acoustic performance of spaces, and executing acoustic measurements (impulse response, reverberation time, background noise, and sound transmission loss). The College’s Architectural Acoustics Laboratory houses equipment capable of taking acoustic measurements in rooms, simulating acoustic environments and analyzing the acoustic character of computer-modeled and scale-modeled rooms. Those interested in learning more about the curriculum, discussing the body of research investigated, or speaking with students who have completed their study in architectural acoustics are encouraged to contact Prof. Michael Ermann by email or at 540.231.1225. The faculty are seeking to admit a highly selective group of students who have master’s degrees in closely allied fields, such as Architecture, Environmental Design, Building Science, Landscape Architecture, Architecture History and Theory, Interior Design, and Industrial Design. In addition to the application requirements of the Virginia Tech Graduate School and those pertaining to all graduate programs within the School of Architecture and School of Design, applicants to the Ph.D. degree in Architecture and Design Research must submit a portfolio and a 2,500-word statement of research focus. Students are encouraged to contact members of the faculty with whom their interests and research focus area align. Degree Requirements for the Ph.D. in Architecture and Design Research: The Graduate School requires each Ph.D. student to complete 90 semester hours of graduate study and dissertation. All students, regardless of area of specialization, are required to complete a sequence of specific Architecture and Design Seminars. A two-semester sequence seminar will focus primarily on epistemology and the nature of discipline and practice of architecture, viewed in the context of architecture and the allied fields. Students will also enroll in a continuing seminar course required every semester of residence. In these seminars, Ph.D. students, the School faculty involved with the graduate program, and possible guests present their own research for critical review and feedback. The Ph.D. students in the Architecture track must also pass a test of reading ability in a foreign language related to their selected topics (native languages and English do not fulfill this requirement). In addition, all students must complete a special Research Methods course organized by area of specialization. At the approval of the student’s advisory committee, the course may be also taken in the other area of specialization or outside of the school.

- For Students
Ph.D. in Landscape Architecture & Environmental PlanningThe Ph.D. in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning is offered for students who want to pursue scholarly and research work beyond the master's level. The ProgramEmphasis in this program is placed on the development of theories and methods that underlie the field of landscape architecture and environmental planning, and the processes of planning and design as they relate to the solution of problems in the natural and urban environment. The Ph.D. degree is appropriate for students seeking careers in research and teaching in landscape architecture and environmental planning, or in specialized roles in government or professional consultation. Degree RequirementsStudents formulate coursework plans (to include the Ph.D. seminar) to develop an individual specialization within the field, which must be approved by the students' program advisers. Ph.D. requirements are as follows: 32 units of upper-division and graduate coursework, a two-year academic residency, reading knowledge of a departmentally approved foreign language, successful completion of a qualifying examination, and a dissertation. Progress toward the degree is evaluated at least annually by the Ph.D. Committee. By no later than the end of the third semester, students will be evaluated as to their suitability for completing the Ph.D. degree. Any student who, in the opinion of the faculty, seems unlikely to be able to complete all degree requirements (including dissertation research) will be subject to dismissal. Participation of faculty in research increases the base of knowledge and theory in support of teaching and the profession. Ph.D. students are often involved in these research topics as research assistants. Current topics include natural resource analysis, computerized inventories, environmental impact studies, methods of shoreline classification, principles of forest landscape design, urban livability studies, urban perception, case studies in urban design, morphological studies of the urban edge, environmental interpretation, behavior in parks and open spaces, community recreation projects, and environmental simulation. Admissions CriteriaAdmission to the Ph.D. program is granted to a small number of highly qualified individuals each year. Applicants should have completed a master's degree before entering. Students with only a bachelor's degree should apply to the M.L.A. program first, or otherwise complete an appropriate master's degree before applying. ![phd program architecture Home](https://soa.princeton.edu/sites/all/themes/soa/logo.png) Ph.D. Program Admission![title= phd program architecture](https://soa.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/styles/gallery_open/public/img_9633_1-1-large.jpg?itok=8JCUMKHB) Admission to the School of Architecture is granted through Princeton University's Graduate School.

Fully Funded PhD Programs in Architecture![phd program architecture Princeton University phd programs in architecture](https://www.profellow.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/35542589_s.jpg) Last updated May 7, 2022 As part of our series How to Fully Fund Your PhD , here is a list of universities that offer fully funded PhD Programs in Architecture. PhDs in Architecture open the door to many opportunities, leading to careers in research, teaching, or consulting. “Full funding” is a financial aid package for full-time students that includes full tuition remission as well as a yearly stipend or salary during the entire program, which is usually 3-6 years. Students usually teach or complete research in their field of study for funding. Not all universities fully fund their doctoral students, which is why researching the financial aid offerings of many different programs, including small and lesser-known schools both in the U.S. and abroad, is essential. The ProFellow database for graduate and doctoral study also spotlights external funding opportunities for graduate school, including dissertation research, fieldwork, language study, and summer work experiences. Would you like to receive the full list of more than 1000+ fully funded programs in 60 disciplines? Download the FREE Directory of Fully Funded Graduate Programs and Full Funding Awards !

International student applicationsWe welcome applications from international students interested in graduate studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The information below should provide an overview of key concerns, but for more information about the application process for international students in general, see the Graduate School International Admissions website. For more information about on-campus resources for foreign students, please explore all the information on the website of the International Students/Scholars Office . For admissions to UNC Charlotte, we require demonstrated English proficiency with an IELTS overall minimum score of 6.5, a minimum paper-based TOEFL score of 577, or a minimum internet-based TOEFL score of 83. Applicants who do not meet the minimum English language proficiency requirement will not be admitted to UNC Charlotte. They may, however, choose to enroll at UNC Charlotte’s English Language Training Institute (ELTI) and then re-apply to the Graduate School. For details, see the ELTI website. International students admitted to a graduate program at UNC Charlotte must confirm their intent to enroll before the University can begin paperwork for the F-1 or J-1 visa. As part of the online enrollment form, and prior to generation of visa documents, international students must provide a financial certification and information regarding dependents who will be accompanying the students. For more detailed information about post-acceptance requirements, included applying for a U.S. visa, please see the UNC Charlotte web page for Enrollment Requirements for New Intentional Applicants and Information for New International Students . There are dormitories and other housing options on campus as well as many apartments for rent within walking distance of the university. For more information about on-campus housing, please see the Housing and Residence Life website. The application process is submitted online via the University’s Graduate School (see link below). All materials for the application process are submitted electronically (transcripts, recommendations, statement of intent, GRE test scores, etc.). You are responsible to make sure that all of your materials have been submitted via the electronic application process. Please do not forward any materials to the David R. Ravin School of Architecture during the process. Application completion status can be checked via the Graduate School’s website. Applications will only be reviewed if they have been officially completed. It is critical that you check your online application frequently in order to insure everything has been received. Most interior design and architectural tech programs do not provide the necessary design studio experience for entry into our 2-year MArch program. At the same time, applicants with these undergraduate degrees may feel that they have taken some or all of the additional coursework for the 2-year program (e.g. the completion of history, structures, materials, environmental systems, etc.) during their undergraduate degree. In all cases it is recommended that these degree holders apply to the 3+ MArch (3-1/2 year program) to begin with. During the acceptance process the Admissions Committee will evaluate your application for any advance standing. In some cases, the School of Architecture may waive a required course if we determine it is redundant to your studies. In such cases we will need to evaluate the course by reviewing its syllabus, all assignments, as well as the final grade you received for the class. If a waiver is permitted, then you will be asked to enroll in an advanced elective course to replace the required course credit. By the same token, credit may be given for prior academic material through “credit by examination” at the discretion of the Associate Director. Some four-year architecture bachelor degree holders may have to take one or more courses to fulfill the basic entry requirements for the 2-year MArch program (refer to Graduate Catalog). Hence non-studio coursework – such as, Environmental Systems, Structures 2, etc. – may have to be completed. Such coursework may be fulfilled after acceptance to the program. In some cases, the program of study may be longer in order accommodate these additional classes. Your portfolio is an expression and demonstration of your creative work. This should be common practice for 2-year MArch applicants familiar with the process of creating one. For 3+ MArch students (who typically have degrees in fields outside of design), it is suggested that you include work from courses in: visual art, sculpture, photography, personal projects, etc. You may also include samples of architectural work from offices if you’ve had such experience. In addition, you may also consider any creative work such as essays or reports that you have authored during your college/professional career(s). In general, any creative work you deem worthy may be included in the portfolio. Digital Portfolio Requirement: The format for the portfolio is limited to a maximum size of 8-1/2” x 11”. It should be formatted as a pdf document and uploaded as part of the online application process. What you include in this folio is an indication and demonstration of your creativity. In all cases it should be elegant, concise, and a demonstration of your skills and visual sensibilities. A typical portfolio may have a total of 15-20 pages that demonstrates your accomplishments in an organized, narrative, and visual manner. Each piece featured should be presented with high-quality images and a brief text description. The careful composition, layout, and visual presentation of the portfolio are also important indicators of your creativity. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is not required. 3+ MArch applicants are asked to take, before starting the program ,coursework in pre-calculus and basic physics. 2-year MArch applicants with a 4-year degree in architecture are expected to have a minimum of: 6 semesters of design studio, 2 semesters of introductory architectural history/theory, 2 structures courses, 1 environmental systems course, and 1 architectural materials course. There are a number of awards that all accepted applicants are assessed for during the admission process. These are awarded to the most promising new graduate students on a merit basis. For MArch applicants with design backgrounds, awards are based on prior academic and professional experience as well as skills and achievements in architecture. For 3+ MArch students, awards are based on academic achievement and promise. There are four types of awards: a. Graduate Assistant Support Plan (GASP): These awards are for resident and non-resident students and provide support for two or three years of tuition during the regular academic year. Each award also includes a yearly stipend (in past years this amount has been approximately $9,000/year) that covers research assistant work within one of the School of Architecture’s three research centers – Digital Arts Research Team (DArts), Design + Society and Research Center (DSRC), and the Center for Integrated Building Design Research (CIBDR). These awards are available for both to 2-year MArch and 3+ year MArch applicants based on their academic merits and record during the admissions process. b. Tuition Awards: These awards are for both in-state and non-resident applicants. The award reduces annual tuition liability equal to the amount of in-state tuition or the difference between in-state and non-resident tuition. These awards may also include a research assistant stipend (in past years this amount has been approximately $7000/year). These awards do not apply to summer semesters (fall and spring only) and are available for both 2-year and 3+ year applicants. c. Teaching/Research Assistantships: Stipends for assistantships are available for qualified masters candidates and ongoing students in the MArch program. The amount varies according to departmental needs for teaching and the candidate’s expertise. Awards are typically given to students that have some experience in the education of architecture. Assignments include: undergraduate assistant roles, class administrative duties, and laboratory research assistants. d. David R. Ravin School of Architecture Scholarships: There are also endowed School of Architecture scholarships that any matriculated student may apply for in the Fall semesters of their academic careers. These are offered via an application process at the beginning of each fall and spring semester. These competitive awards range from $1000 to $2500. All MArch students begin their programs in the fall term. In some instances MUD and MS students without a design background start their study in the “second summer term” (typically the first week in July). Please make sure that you apply to the correct program, and hence, register your first course(s) for the correct entry semester. You must formally apply and be admitted to either the two MArch programs before you can take required coursework. Some applicants, however, have enrolled in non-required courses such as Liberal Studies (LBST) general education undergraduate lecture classes as an introduction to architecture. These courses do not count towards their master’s studies. Another option is to enroll at UNC Charlotte as a Post Baccalaureate student. Post Bac status will allow students to take graduate level elective coursework at UNC Charlotte with instructor approval and if space is available. Up to 6 credits of Post Bac studies may be transferred into a graduate program should the student be accepted as a graduate student. The School of Architecture is a full-time enrollment program in which all of our graduate students take courses beyond the full-time graduate load. The typical graduate student enrolls in at least 9 credits of coursework per semester; Master of Architecture students typically enroll in (on average) 15 units per term. Given this heavy course load and given the significant amount of time needed to complete assignments and projects, the School of Architecture highly recommends that students not seek outside employment. The School of Architecture realizes that full time enrollment in graduate school is a costly endeavor; some students will find it necessary to work off campus to make ends meet. This will represent a significant demand on student time and, therefore, may conflict with the demands of graduate study. The School of Architecture offers a broad-based program of study. However, since 2003, the School has invested a considerable amount of time and effort into its research centers. These centers have grown around faculty interests and expertise in the areas of: (1) digital fabrication, (2) lighting technology and energy conservation, and (3) urban and community design. These three research areas have given rise to dedicated electives for graduate study in the program. These areas are seen as local areas of expertise in which students may engage research as well as deepen their programs of study. These areas are particularly important to 2-year MArch students who are asked to identify an area of interest in their first year of study. 3+ MArch students are also encouraged to engage is such coursework as they move into their second year of study in the 3-1/2 year program. Graduate students who undertake and perform at a high level in such studies have the opportunity to participate in research projects being conducted in one of the School’s three research centers as mentioned above. It is also anticipated that these special interests will contribute significantly to the topic of their final project or thesis, which is completed in the final year. The deadline for all application materials submitted online is January 15 for admission to the following academic year. Some programs have a rolling admission schedule. Contact the Graduate Program Director for details. The School of Architecture offers a general Open House in the fall semester (typically the third week in October) and a special spring Open House event (the last week in March) for applicants accepted to the program. Though different, each of these Open House events features a tour of the School, introduction to faculty and student work/projects, and an opportunity to see the program in action. Please contact [email protected] to learn of the exact dates as well as to schedule your participation at one of these Open House events. - Accessibility Options:

Design Studios - M.Arch I (Master of Architecture 3-year track)Arc 604 - immersive architectural design studio 1. Environments of Exchange. As the first of 5 core studios in the MArch I program, ARC 604 aims to build a strong understanding of architectural fundamentals. Through a series of exercises of increasing complexity, the course presents architecture as a process-based endeavor, and foregrounds the important tools of the architect’s craft. Topics include conceptual diagrams, precedent analysis, architectural form and figure, dimensions and space, site, and architecture’s agency in facilitating interactions through programming and circulation. ![phd program architecture](https://grad.arc.miami.edu/_assets/images/system-images/1_emily-camejo_greynolds-bridge-project_480.jpg) ARC 605 - Immersive Architecural Design Studio IIMaterial Form + Structured Space. This core design studio builds on the processes and skills introduced in ARC604, while shifting focus to the material realities of architecture. Exercises will emphasize the relationship between architectural form and physical materials, and explore how methods of construction inform the design of assemblies. Physical models that convey ideas, test structural behaviors, and validate imagery are shown to be a fundamental part of the design process. The studio also explores the promise and limits of new technologies, including computational design processes and digital fabrication, in the production of architecture. ![phd program architecture](https://grad.arc.miami.edu/_assets/images/system-images/fuhong480.jpg) ARC 606 - Great Cities Design StudioThe Great Cities Design Studio uses design-based critical inquiry to address issues of site-specific design and infrastructure. This immersive travel-based studio provides ample opportunities for extensive student analysis and observation. Students will discover the layers of the City, combining archaeology and anthropology with architecture and history. Coursework emphasizes a critical assessment of the given site relative to questions of program, infrastructure, and cultural changes. ![phd program architecture](https://grad.arc.miami.edu/_assets/images/system-images/arc-606-section-perspective_1_480x320.jpg) ARC 607 - Advanced Architectural Design StudioHabitation + Housing. This advanced design studio addresses the complex interrelationships of a building, its context, and the defined program of housing. Through precedent research, key readings, typological studies and urban analysis, students will engage a critical discourse on the history and potential futures of architecture for domestic habitation. Exercises will focus on the application of material languages and material assemblies into the construction of buildings, as well as the interaction of buildings with people, climate resources and culture. ![phd program architecture](https://grad.arc.miami.edu/_assets/images/system-images/1_jie-su_sutro-bath_480.jpg) ARC 608 - Integrated Architecture Design StudioAdvanced Design Studio focusing on skills associated with making integrated architectural design decisions across multiple systems. Design decisions within a complex architectural project will focus on the consideration and broad integration of environmental stewardship, technical documentation, accessibility, site conditions, life safety, environmental systems, structural systems, and building envelope systems and assemblies. ![phd program architecture](https://grad.arc.miami.edu/_assets/images/system-images/arc608_trautman_arc608_480x320.jpg) ARC 610 - Architecture Design Degree ProjectThe Architecture Design Degree Project takes one of three forms: 1) an individual design thesis on a topic selected and developed by the student through rigorous research, or 2) a directed design research group or 3), or a Vertical Studio. Individual thesis is an opportunity for each student, working with a faculty advisor, to define an individual position with regard to the discipline of Architecture. In contrast, design research groups are led by faculty, and address relevant architectural questions through the lens of the faculty's areas of expertise. All graduating students will be required to present their Degree Project, comprising research, analysis and creative work, through a juried review. ![phd program architecture](https://grad.arc.miami.edu/_assets/images/system-images/jie-su1-arc610_5_480x320.jpg) Graduate Programs In Architecture- 1223 Dickinson Drive Coral Gables , FL 33146

The degree is accredited by the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board (LAAB). A three-year program for applicants who have no design or planning background leads to the fully accredited professional degree of master of landscape architecture (M.L.A.). This program is for students who intend to complete coursework full time. Applicants with a related design or planning degree may enter the three-year program with advanced standing. The M.L.A. program, for the student seeking a first professional degree in landscape architecture, is a more tightly structured curriculum because it leads to the prerequisite work experience that qualifies the graduate for the Landscape Architecture Registration Examination (L.A.R.E.). M.L.A.

Students must participate in the capstone studio and complete a 6-credit independent design project during the final semester of the program. M.L.A. students must disseminate the results of their integrative studies through capstone seminars. The M.L.A. program requires 70 credit hours. Master of Science (M.S.)Because the M.S. program serves the advanced professional, course requirements do not address foundation professional courses in landscape architecture. However, the student, in consultation with the major professor and steering committee, has great flexibility in developing a program of study suited to career goals in the chosen area of study. M.S. Program Requirements Course Number | Course | Codes * | Credits | LSA 640 | Research Methods | | 3 | LSA 697 | Topics+Issues/Land Arch | | 1 | LSA 799 | Capstone/Thesis Prop Dev | | 3 | LSA 899 | Masters Thesis Research | | 1 - 12 | Students may register for LSA 899 Master’s Thesis Research as necessary for completion up to the time limit of the M.S. program. Minimum of 6 credits required. M.S. students must complete an integrative experience and must complete a thesis (6 credits). The thesis may be research in which new, original knowledge is generated, it may be a study that focuses on the application of existing knowledge to a new situation, or it may combine both elements. Students must disseminate the results of their integrative studies through capstone seminars. Areas of StudyThe landscape architecture graduate degree programs provide a well-balanced curriculum in landscape architectural design and planning, coupled with opportunities to pursue individualized advanced study in a broad range of topics. The diversity of faculty interests and expertise offer both M.L.A. and M.S. students opportunities for in-depth exploration in three areas of study: community design and planning, cultural landscape conservation, and landscape and urban ecology. Community Design and Planning (M.L.A., M.S.)The purpose of this area is to address design, planning and research with regard to human settlements including discrete traditional communities such as cities, towns, hamlets, and their hinterlands; regional and rural communities connected to agriculture, watersheds and forests; and specialized communities such as institutional and corporate campuses, co-housing and new towns. Cultural Landscape Studies and Conservation (M.L.A., M.S.)This area addresses a range of issues germane to the developmental and interpretive history of the cultural landscape. At its most fundamental level, the study area prepares students to address preservation planning and management for a range of cultural landscape types including historic sites and settlements, designed landscapes and vernacular landscapes. There is also a growing set of interdisciplinary methods relevant to cultural landscape studies such as critical history, landscape representation, media, visual perception and reception of landscapes, interpretation, narrative and participatory design. Graduate students may explore and/or integrate these methods with design and preservation practices. Landscape and Urban Ecology (M.L.A., M.S.)The purpose of this area of study is to address a range of theoretical and practical applications in landscape and urban ecosystems as they relate to the practice of landscape architecture and community design. In this contemporary interdisciplinary approach, students will learn about the structure, heterogeneity and ecological processes of a broad range of natural, modified and urban landscapes. People are recognized as an integral part of the landscape and are included as a major focus of research and practice. Doctoral Level StudiesDoctoral level studies in landscape architecture may be tailored in connection with the interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in the Graduate Program in Environmental Science (GPES).
