The College of Architecture, Arts, and Humanities at Clemson University is accepting applications for five assistantships for the pursuit of the Ph.D. degree in Planning, Design, and the Built Environment. The assistantship provides a stipend of $18,800
payable per year plus tuition remission, and may be renewed for up to two years.
I would like your help in locating superior students who might be interested in this opportunity for support of their doctoral studies. The diversity of our faculty, who have advanced degrees in applied economics, architecture, construction management, civil
engineering, history, landscape architecture, parks, recreation and tourism, planning, political science and geography allows students to pursue a variety of research interests.
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, real estate development, historic preservation and construction science. We have identified focus areas of: Regional / Community Development and Design; Built
Environment and Health; Restoration, Sustainability and Land Ecology; and Architectural Design, Technology 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. I hope you will share it with students who are or might be considering application to a doctoral
program for the fall semester of 2020. While we have a rolling admissions Process, we will begin reviewing applications around the 7th of January 2020.
Clemson University, the land grant University of South Carolina and a Top 25 US Public University, has an enrollment of over 25,000 students of whom over 5,000 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.
