for graduate students. Admission is made in the Fall semester
only. GRE scores are recommended, and required for fellowship

Curriculum Information
Central to the graduate curriculum is the design studio which
focuses on conceptual and applied design. The studio format entails
lecture, demonstration, one-on-one instruction and group discourse.
Rather than espousing a single design philosophy, the department
presents numerous perspectives on design, imparted through the
studio course sequence. Small class sizes allow for discussion
among faculty and students. The graduate curriculum culminates
with a thesis or capstone studio. Thesis students, with the guidance
of the Thesis Committee, may choose from a variety of options
for their research, including a special project, design or an
aspect of theory applied to a project. The capstone studio option
features a comprehensive design project. A studio book, submitted
to the department, is required for this option.
