The College of Architecture, Arts, and Humanities at Clemson University is accepting applications for five three-year assistantships for the pursuit of the Ph.D. degree in Planning, Design, and the Built Environment. The fellowship provides a stipend of $18,800 payable per year plus tuition, and may be renewed for up to two years.
The objective of the program is to prepare a new generation of academics and professionals to deal with the diverse and complex issues relating the future of our built environment. The program is interdisciplinary drawing a core from the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, planning, and construction science. We have identified focus areas of: Regional & Community Development & Design;Built Environment and Health; Restoration, Sustainability & Landscape Ecology; Technology, Materials and Construction Processes. It is expected that graduates of this program will be well prepared to address increasingly complex issues relating to human settlement patterns and the built environment.
The diversity of the faculty, who have advanced degrees in applied economics, architecture, construction management, civil engineering, history, landscape architecture, parks, recreation and tourism, planning, political science and urban geography allows students to pursue a variety of research interests.
The program has a rolling admissions process, but will begin reviewing applications around the 5th of January 2011. Clemson University, the land grant University of South Carolina, has an enrollment of over 17,500 students of whom over 4,000 pursue advanced degrees in 74 different areas of graduate studies.
Strategically located within a few miles of Interstate 85, mid-way between Atlanta, Georgia, and Charlotte, North Carolina, Clemson offers easy access to major urban centers, coastal areas and the
Appalachian mountains.
