Program Description

The HAUD program at Cornell offers a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and represents a sophisticated blend of interdisciplinary research and new scholarship. The program prepares students for a scholarly career in global architectural history conceived as a distinct and evolving discipline with a diverse range of topics and methodologies. HAUD students are able to engage in original research that advances and changes the discipline and impart that knowledge to undergraduate and graduate students. The structure and degree requirements of the program prepare students as erudite and independent scholars who can critically assess and contribute to the state of global and inclusive architectural history.

Before applying, the prospective students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the program, attend the virtual open house and contact the field faculty members that they envision to work with.
