Doctoral Program (Ph.D. Architecture)
The Ph.D. Program in Architecture,
created in 1964, is the oldest in the country and is widely
regarded as preeminent in the fields of theory, technology
and representation. Its goal is to produce a body of graduates
who will act as a reflective leaven to the architectural profession,
providing an historical and/or theoretical context for current
practice. The Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture is for
the person who wishes to make a significant scholarly contribution
to the discipline of architecture. Requirements for the degree
include twenty approved courses, the passing of two language
exams, a preliminary examination, a field exam, a preliminary
examination, a field exam, a dissertation and a final defense.
Course work from previous Master's degrees is taken into consideration
when deciding the number of courses required for the Ph.D.
degree. Students with a Master's degree from Penn may be granted
up to 12 course units transfer credit, those with a Master's
degree from another institution may be granted up to 8 towards
their Ph.D. requirement. The program is administered by a
Graduate Group, consisting of faculty
in the Department of Architecture, Landscape Architecture
and History of Art and Architecture.
The program accepts applicants holding bachelor's or Master's
degrees in an approved related field, such as landscape architecture
or urban design. Students with a Master's degree from another
university may receive advanced credit of up to eight courses;
those with a Master's from the University of Pennsylvania
may be granted credit for up to twelve courses.
Applicants for the Ph.D. program must submit a portfolio
of their work and a sample of their writing (in English) along
with the standard application materials.

The number of electives a student takes,
and therefore the number of years of coursework the Program
involves, depends on the number of transfer credits the student
is granted. top
