Expanding the View into Post-Professional Degree Programs
According to the 2019 ACSA Institutional Data Report, member schools are home to (82) post-professional Graduate degree programs and (39) Doctoral degree programs. While these programs do not confer professional degrees for students, they are requisite for the development of a shared culture of original research in Architecture. A panel of administrators representing four different post-professional degree types will share insights from their distinct programs housed in a diversity of academic, geographic, and disciplinary contexts. Discussion about these degree programs will address current research, identify challenges faced, and share affordances for faculty and their research agendas.
