The Ph.D. in the Built Environment is a college-wide, interdisciplinary degree program housed within the College of Built Environments. The Ph.D. Program provides students with a common core of substantial, integrated knowledge concerning the multi-faceted built environment, and then offers areas of specialization in three discrete fields of knowledge and practice:
- Building, Construction, and Property Sciences: to address technical, practical, and economic aspects of the built environment disciplines, with a particular focus on building systems, construction, and real estate transactions, and to generate new knowledge in these areas using appropriate research methodologies.
- History and Humanities: to address cultural aspects of the built environment disciplines, and to generate new knowledge in these areas using appropriate research methodologies.
- Landscape and Urban Studies: to address ecological and sustainability aspects of the built environments disciplines, particularly at large scales, and to generate new knowledge in these areas using appropriate research methodologies.
