Ph.D Program

The Environmental Design & Planning Ph.D. Program in the College of Architecture, Planning & Design at Kansas State University is an interdisciplinary research-based degree program. Our doctoral students are members of the College at-large, rather than a particular department, allowing students to draw from the sizeable and wide-ranging knowledge of faculty from all three of our departments:

One member of the core Ph.D. faculty must accept mentorship responsibility for any student prior to their admittance to the doctoral program.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact a core Ph.D. faculty member, and if possible, obtain a commitment to support the application. Having a clear and focused topic and research agenda for your PhD program will help the faculty decide if your interests overlap.

Fall Admission (apply by January 8)
