The PhD in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Planning is administered by a joint committee of the Faculty of Design and of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. The program is intended for persons who wish to enter careers in scholarship and advanced research as distinct from the professional practice of architecture, landscape architecture, or urban planning.
Students must master a major area of their respective field and achieve a thorough grounding (equivalent to one year of full-time study) in the theory and methods of one of the arts and sciences related to their major subject, such as fine arts, history, philosophy, or sociology. Major areas of study include the history and theory of modern architecture and urbanism; medieval, renaissance, and Baroque architecture; history of landscape architecture; housing and urban development; and landscape planning and ecology.
Applicants must show evidence of distinguished work at the bachelor’s or master’s level, and should indicate their major subject of interest and the department of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences in which they will carry out their minor discipline.
The Graduate School of design also offers a separate, two-year program leading to the Doctor of Design degree, which is oriented to the practice of architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design. This program requires a separate and different application. For information, contact the Admissions Office, Harvard University, Graduate School of Design, 48 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA 02138. The phone number is (617) 495-5453.
