Doctoral Assistantships in Planning, Design and the Built Environment at Clemson
Mickey Lauria
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, 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 2014. While we have a rolling admissions
Process, we will begin reviewing applications around the 10th of January
2014.
Clemson University, the land grant University of South Carolina, has
an enrollment of over 20,000 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.
