University of Kansas (KU) graduate architecture programs offer advanced design inquiry in the area of health and wellness within its professional degree program (MArch) as well as in MA and PhD programs. These programs seek to prepare students to become leaders in designing healthier and more sustainable environments and to do so from a robust knowledge base. Leaders in national firms advise and participate in the program, and many have created scholarships focused on this area of inquiry. KU's health-oriented architecture program is the only such program located at a university with its own medical school.

Two-year graduate assistantships are available for students pursuing a PhD. The supporting faculty include Kent Spreckelmeyer, DArch, FAIA (hospital space planning, healthy workplaces, simulation, and postoccupancy evaluation research); Keith Diaz Moore, PhD, AIA (elder care, dementia, healing gardens, strategic planning); Mahbub Rashid, PhD (hospital design, simulation, and behavioral research); Frank Zilm, DArch, FAIA (hospital design, programming); and Bill Carswell, MUP (healthy neighborhoods and alternative housing). Applications are due February 1.

The University of Illinois-Chicago offers an MS in Architecture in Health Design (MSAHD) program. The program is a four-semester sequence centered on the design studio experience, each studio exploring a different aspect and scale of health design. The program is designed for working students with courses offered in the evenings and weekends. A more formal description and application materials may be found at:
