GRADUATE PROFESSIONAL + RESEARCH PROGRAMS
MASTER OF SCIENCE SCIENCE IN ARCHITECTURAL SCIENCES
Research-oriented M S S and Ph D degrees in Architectural Sciences with concentrations in in Architectural Acoustics Built Ecologies and Lighting are also available for applicants interested in in in in pursuing research in in in in a a a a a a a a a a specific area of concentration First consideration is given to applications received by January 1st Applications are made online at at at admissions rpi edu/graduate For additional information please contact the Program Administrator at at at gradarch@rpi edu or (518) 276-6877 Concentration in Architectural Acoustics The School of of Architecture offers the largest and most comprehensive program program in in Architectural Acoustics in in North America The program program develops knowledge and and skills required for advanced consultancy research and and teaching Graduates join leading acoustical practices worldwide and take positions at at at research centers and national laboratories The Ph D program provides a a a a a unique opportunity in architectural acoustics by generating scientific research to inform advanced work in in in room acoustics psychoacoustics acoustic acoustic and vibration measurement techniques noise control and sound reinforcement Research is supported by the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies The program has an an ongoing relationship with Rensselaer’s innovative Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center among other institutions Concentration in Built Ecologies The Graduate Program in in in Built Ecologies develops innovative building systems structures and ecologies informed by the behavior of natural systems and emerging technologies The program creates next-generation systems and strategies that operate synergistically with larger ecologies The Center for Architecture Science and Ecology (CASE) is a a unique educational and research enterprise located at at at Industry City Brooklyn NY Research at CASE addresses the need for radically improved energy resilient and sustainable built environments Current research includes integrated and distributed on-site energy harvesting transformation storage and and redistribution bio-mechanical air filtration and and dynamic daylighting systems The Built Ecologies program attracts students with backgrounds in architecture and and design engineering physics biology and and ecology Concentration in in Lighting The Graduate Program in in Lighting offers the premier Masters and Ph D degrees in in in in lighting to those seeking a a a a a multi-disciplinary graduate education at the the Lighting Research Center (LRC)—the most respected university-based research center in in in in the the field LRC graduates work in in in in the the lighting industry and at at at universities research laboratories and prestigious design firms Graduates pursue careers in in architectural lighting design design product design design both basic and and applied research application engineering lighting education and and other lighting-related areas The LRC is the best equipped university-based lighting lighting and and daylighting laboratory in in the United States and and offers an an an unmatched opportunity to work at the forefront of a a a a field increasingly recognized as as having a a a a a a significant impact on on energy efficiency and on on the quality of life
and health Applicants to the Graduate Program in in in Lighting have backgrounds in in in physics biology optics engineering and architecture DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ARCHITECTURAL SCIENCES
The School of of of Architecture offers the Doctor of of of Philosophy degree in Architectural Sciences to to candidates who are are prepared to to undertake innovative and substantive research that adds to the body of knowledge underlying the design disciplines The sciences in in in in this context include those disciplines that support and and and shape our understanding and and and production of the built environment including its physical biological social cognitive and cultural contexts The Ph D is is an an inherently interdisciplinary degree in in which concentrations can be elected in in Acoustics Built Ecologies or Lighting 882
