They have also held FulbrightSenior Lectureships and Research Awards in manycountries.ARCHITECTUREMaster of ArchitectureMaster of ScienceIn the United States, most state registration boards requirea degree from an accredited professional degreeprogram as a prerequisite for licensure. The NationalArchitectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which isthe sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professionaldegree programs in architecture, recognizesthree types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture(B. Arch.), the Master of Architecture (M. Arch.), andthe Doctor of Architecture (D. Arch.) A program maybe granted a 6-year, 3-year or 2-year term of accreditation,depending on the extent of its conformancewith established educational standards.Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecturedegree programs may consist of a pre-professionalundergraduate degree and a professional graduatedegree that, when earned sequentially, constitutean accredited professional education. However, thepre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized asan accredited degree.Clemson University, College of Architecture, Artsand Humanities, School of Architecture, offers thefollowing NAAB-accredited degree programs:M.Arch (pre-professional degree + 60 credits)M.Arch + Health (pre-professional degree + 61 credits)M.Arch (non-pre-professional degree + 90 credits)M.Arch + Health (non-pre-professional degree + 91credits)Admission to the M. Arch. program, and anyadvanced placement, is based on an estimation ofthe applicant’s ability to respond effectively to theintellectual rigor and creative challenge integral tograduate architecture study by an admissions committeeof graduate faculty. The applicant’s potentialis measured in part by demonstrated proficiency inprior academic work, Graduate Record Examination(GRE) test scores, a portfolio of design work(required of all applicants), and other applicationrequirements. More detailed information is availableon the School of Architecture Web site.The Master of Architecture program develops proficiencyin responding to contemporary architecturalissues through a range of practical and theoreticalknowledge, while providing opportunities for creativelychallenging the limits of the profession. Emphasisis on design, accompanied by complementarycoursework of a professional focus, as well as electivesubjects. Complex studio design projects stress socialawareness and contextual fit and are responsive to allaspects of the architectural process.The Master of Architecture degree requires a minimumof two academic years. Degree candidates mayelect a concentration of study in architecture or architectureand health. The graduate faculty reviews eachstudent each semester of the first year to determineif his/her performance is acceptable to continue inthe program.Architecture ConcentrationThis inclusive course of study leading to the MArchdegree allows the student to pursue individual academicand career objectives within the context of arigorous professionally directed architecture program.The focus of learning is the design studio, where thestudent is involved in a range of theoretical and realworldexplorations. However, sufficient elective hoursare available to establish a study plan responsive toindividual interests.Architecture + Health ConcentrationWithin the framework of the Master of Architecturedegree, the Architecture + Health Concentrationincludes seminar courses and studio work appropriatefor both a general professional degree and aconcentration in Architecture + Health. The intentis to develop the generalist-specialist—graduates whocan creatively work in both modes. This concentrationincludes both the study of health facility designand the study of relationships between architecturalsettings and their impact on human health and wellbeing.The primary purpose of the concentrationis to study how architectural environments impacthealth and how to create architectural settings thatsupport health and well-being of individuals andlarger populations.Studio design projects and courses examine theserelationships for architectural settings and conditionsranging from entire communities and health caresystems to specific projects and individual interior orexterior spaces. The studio emphasizes design excellencewithin the framework of rigorous and complexdemands found in the practice of health care architecture.Student work is expected to stand up criticallyat all levels of architectural consideration.The Architecture + Health Concentration is demandingin the scope of its professional studies, withmost of the coursework designated for specific areasof learning. Students may take advantage of thesame off-campus programs available to students inthe Architecture Concentration during their firstsemester of study. Given the number of requiredcourses, students may opt for a five-semester plan ofstudy beginning in the spring semester. The thesisor project, developed during the final year, normallydeals with particular architectural topics as they relateto health and/or health facility design.Master of Science ProgramThe Master of Science degree in Architecture is apost-professional degree program that offers the opportunityto achieve advanced learning within thediscipline of architecture and to undertake researchresponsive to increasingly complex challenges attendantto the built environment. This is accomplishedthrough a foundation of coursework, accompanied bydirected studies within a selected area, and followedby the critical examination of a singular aspect ofarchitecture in a research thesis.Admission to the MS program is available to studentswho have a first professional degree in architectureand who possess the intellectual mettle and dedicationnecessary to respond successfully to the rigorof advanced study and independent research. Thisis measured by academic proficiency in prior work,a well-reasoned plan of advanced study and GRE

College of Architecture, Arts and Humanitiesgeneral test scores. Information concerning applicationprocedures and requirements is available fromthe School of Architecture.The coursework and directed studies required of theMaster of Science program may be completed in oneacademic year, after which a variable period of timeis dedicated to the research thesis. Degree candidateswork within one of the following areas: architectureand health care facilities, environmental issues inarchitecture, architecture and human perception, ortheory and philosophy of architecture. A plan of studyis determined in consultation with the major advisorwho, along with the advisory committee, periodicallyreviews the student’s work and evaluates the researchthesis. Requirements for the MS degree consist of 24credit hours of combined coursework and directedstudies with a minimum grade-point ratio of 3.0 andthe acceptance of a six-hour research thesis.CITY AND REGIONALPLANNINGMaster of City and Regional PlanningThe two-year Master of City and Regional Planningprogram is a professional degree emphasizing appliedstudy in preparing tomorrow’s leaders for planningand developing the nation’s towns, cities and regions.The curriculum emphasizes applied study preparingfor the challenge of planning vibrant and sustainablecommunities. Graduates are well-equipped for careersin private sector planning and development, as wellas public sector planning and administration. Thenationally accredited program began in 1968 and hasmore than 500 graduates.The program emphasizes sustainable land development,applying appropriate technology and recognizingthe balance of physical, economic, financial,social and policy dimensions of planning. Theprogram has a professional application focus mainlyconcerned with providing a solid planning educationto qualified students, primarily to meet the needsof South Carolina, the southeastern region and thenation. The generalist approach is employed with theflexibility for specialization in four areas: developmentplanning, transportation, environmental landuse planning and geographic information systems. Asubstantive core emphasizes the general framework,theories, methods and applications of the planningprocess. Strong ties with the professional communityreinforce the professional application focus.Students come from a variety of undergraduate majorsand professional backgrounds—primarily liberalarts, the social sciences, environmental science, business,management and design—and from many statesand several countries. The MCRP program typicallyhas annual classes of approximately 20 students, providingthe opportunity for extensive faculty involvementin teaching, research and public service.While the curriculum covers theory and policy issues,the principal focus emphasizes the applied skillsstudents need to enter the job market as professionalplanners and to evolve as leaders in the field. Classesuse real-world situations for analysis and for the applicationof planning skills in dealing with land useplanning, development and issues of the built andnatural environment.Planning students are equipped to meet opportunitiesfacing communities in many creative ways.Many first-year students work two days per week asdepartment assistants for professors or in planningrelated entities. Students typically work full time asinterns in planning or development organizationsduring the summer. During their second year, moststudents work two days a week with a public, privateor nonprofit entity as student public service assistants(PSA). This allows them to gain additional professionalexperience.Department assistants generally earn around $3,500for nine months at 10 hours per week; PSAs earnaround $4,500 at 15 hours per week and usuallyrequire an automobile for transportation to positionsthroughout the area. Both assistantships providesignificant tuition reduction. Students are activelyinvolved in Clemson’s Planning Student Organizationof the American Planning Association (APA)and the South Carolina APA (SCAPA).Clemson’s graduates have been successful in thepublic, private and nonprofit sectors, attaining keypositions in traditional planning agencies, developmentgroups, nonprofit organizations and privateconsulting firms. This practical, applied program isrecognized throughout the region for its outstandinggraduates. Most alumni of the program serve as agencydirectors, department heads and staff planners atthe local, regional and state levels. Some graduateswork as generalists while others are specialists inGIS, housing and community development, environmentaland coastal planning, historic preservation,transportation planning, or economic development.A growing number are employed in the private sectoras planning or urban design consultants, developers,and market research or environmental analysts.Admission Requirements1.

College of Engineering and ScienceCIVIL ENGINEERINGMaster of ScienceDoctor of PhilosophyThe Department of Civil Engineering offers graduateprograms leading to the Master of Science andDoctor of Philosophy degrees. Within these degrees,there are six primary emphasis areas: Applied FluidMechanics, Construction Materials, GeotechnicalEngineering, Project Management, Structural Engineeringand Transportation Systems.Master of ScienceThe Master of Science degree program is open to allindividuals who have a four-year baccalaureate degree.A degree in engineering is not required for admission,but most entering students have an undergraduateCivil Engineering degree.There are two options available for students pursuinga Master of Science degree. The student may preparea research thesis or may take additional courses inlieu of completing a thesis.The thesis option requires the preparation of aresearch thesis that is a part of the total credit hoursrequired for the degree. Students intending to pursuea doctoral degree usually choose the thesis option.Completion of a research thesis is excellent preparationfor the research necessary for a doctorate if astudent is inclined to pursue that degree in the future.The nonthesis option does not require the preparationof a research thesis but does require completionof additional coursework. This degree optionprovides the student with additional directed studythrough coursework. Normally students pursuingthe nonthesis option will not pursue a doctorate.Except for the core courses required by differentdisciplines, there are no formal course requirementsfor students pursuing a Master of Science degree. Theprogram normally contains some engineering designand a minimum of ten credits of engineering science,advanced mathematics and basic science. In addition,each student in the thesis option must complete anadvanced research project. The final program ofstudy must contain at least 30 hours of graduatecredit including the core curriculum requirements.Of these 30 credits, no more than six hours may bethesis research (C E 891) for those students pursuingthe thesis option. At least half of the remaininghours must be from courses numbered 800 or above.The final examination for the MS nonthesis optionis an oral or written exam (or a combination of thetwo) consisting of questions related to fundamentalknowledge in a student’s chosen area of concentration(i.e., applied fluid mechanics, construction materials,geotechnical engineering, project management,structural engineering, or transportation systems).The final examination for the MS thesis option is anoral exam consisting of a student’s MS thesis defenseand questions related to fundamental knowledge ina student’s chosen area of concentration (i.e. appliedfluid mechanics, construction materials, geotechnicalengineering, project management, structural engineering,or transportation systems).Doctor of PhilosophyThe Doctor of Philosophy degree program is open toall individuals who have a baccalaureate degree andpreferably a Master’s degree in engineering. Exceptfor the core courses required by different disciplines,there are no formal course requirements for studentspursuing a PhD degree; however, each student mustcomplete 18 hours of dissertation research (C E 991).The purpose of the PhD research dissertation is toafford the student the opportunity to participatein independent specialized engineering researchthat can advance the state of the art. The researchis conducted under the direction of a member ofthe faculty who will normally serve as chair of thestudent’s academic advisory committee. The researchshould be sufficiently demanding technically so as todemonstrate the student’s ability to assimilate knowledgefrom several subject areas for the advancementof engineering knowledge.Student Evaluation —During the first two semesters inresidence, a PhD student must select a faculty advisor.The faculty advisor may assign the student specificduties outside normal coursework requirements thatinclude, but are not necessarily limited to, preparingresearch proposals and literature surveys, conductingclassroom lectures, formulating computer modelsand executing data collection and analysis. Theadvisor may, at any time, withdraw as the student’sfaculty advisor if these assigned duties are not performedconsistent with the expectations of the facultyadvisor. During this initial two-semester period, anadvisor should make a determination as to whethera student is capable of completing the requirementsfor the PhD degree.Comprehensive Examination —The PhD comprehensiveexamination is generally scheduled after all courseworkhas been completed and the dissertation proposalis ready for approval by the student’s graduatecommittee. The examination, therefore, consists oftwo parts: (1) a written and/or oral examination bythe advisory committee on the student’s preparationto complete the proposed research and (2) presentationof the proposed research. The PhD comprehensiveexamination should be completed withintwo years of entering the PhD program. The writtenand/or oral examination may include considerationof graduate coursework, preliminary research and/or other demonstration of the ability to conduct theproposed research. After passing this examination,the student is officially admitted to candidacy forthe PhD degree.Dissertation Defense—As required by the GraduateSchool, the candidate for the Doctor of Philosophydegree must pass a final oral examination (dissertationdefense). The examination consists of a presentationof the student’s doctoral research and an assessmentby the committee of the research approach, thesignificance of the findings and the contribution tothe advancement of civil engineering.More information about the Department of CivilEngineering is available at www.ce.clemson.edu or byphone at (864) 656-3000.Combined BS/MS in CivilEngineeringCivil Engineering undergraduates at Clemson maybegin a Master of Science degree program whilecompleting the Bachelor of Science degree and use alimited number of courses to satisfy the requirementsof both their undergraduate and graduate degrees.The following requirements apply:1.
