The University of Michigan, A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning is based in Ann Arbor, MI offers a fully funded PhD in Architecture. Because many of their entering students come from professional degree programs, they emphasize the importance of the subtle but substantive shift from design-based studio work to research in major subfields of architectural practice and study. Ph.D. in Architecture is committed to funding each admitted student for four years of the expected time to complete the degree, including an annual stipend, full tuition, and health care during the academic year. Additional years of funding may be available
