Admission Requirements: Doctor of Philosophy Program

Applicants shall have appropriate academic credentials (a master’s degree or equivalent in Architecture, Engineering, Environmental Design or, exceptionally, in a related field) and at least two years of work experience in an appropriate professional setting. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test taken no more than five years prior to application is required. All applicants whose native language is not English are required to take the Internet-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL iBT), a test that includes a section on spoken English. A writing sample in the form of a research paper or publication is also required as part of the application. In addition to meeting qualifying criteria, candidates need to contact the program director, submit a substantial research paper, and explain their motivation for engaging in this course of study. Qualified applicants will be invited to interview with a member of the doctoral faculty.
