Ph. D. in Architecture

Range of Faculty Interest Areas Because we have one of the largest schools in the country our range of faculty interest areas is broad:
Architectural Computing Construction Science Energy/Sustainability/Lighting Environmental & Behavior Facilities Management (certified) History & Preservation (Certified)	Housing Theory Pedagogy Visualization Health (certified) Professional Practice
Relationship Between Faculty and Students Ph.D. students must have one member and up to three members from outside the department that comprise "the committee." This creates an opportunity for Architecture faculty to meet and assess the talents of faculty outside the department. There are some 20-30 Architecture faculty who presently either chair or are on the committees of Ph.D. degree seeking students. The contact between faculty and students is intense and will last 3-5 years. Faculty interests are extended by contact with Ph.D. students and their ensuing interests. The generation of NEW KNOWLEDGE presents faculty with concerns that expand their own knowledge base and outline further study. NEW METHODOLOGIES are introduced to the faculty through the student's participation with cross-disciplinary committees. These methodologies expand the faculty's capabilities, as well as the student's range of inquiry. The following is a list of faculty who are currently chairing Ph.D. committees, or serving as advisors. Akleman, Ergun Bilbo, David L. Clayton, Mark Downing, Frances E.
