A major, in either the history of architecture or the history of urbanism, and two minors are required.

A written and oral Admission to Doctoral Candidacy Examination (the A-Examination) is taken usually in the third year. Candidates must prepare and defend (the B-Examination) a dissertation. The dissertation should demonstrate the student’s ability to pursue independent and independently motivated work. As a contribution to scholarship and human knowledge, the dissertation represents a substantial creative endeavor.
