Below are links to architecture schools that offer postgraduate programs in healthcare. Contact the school to learn details about deadlines and other requirements.

Clemson University offers two programs—a Master of Architecture degree with a concentration in Architecture + Health, and a PhD in Environmental Design and Planning with an emphasis in health and the built environment.

The Texas A&M University Department of Architecture offers three graduate degrees: an Master of Architecture (first professional degree), an Master of Science in Architecture (non-professional, research degree), and a PhD in Architecture (research degree). Students also can obtain a Certificate in Health Systems in Design during the course of their studies by completing specific course requirements. Information on the degrees, the certificate, and the TAMU Center for Health Systems & Design can be found on the web site.

University of Kansas (KU) graduate architecture programs offer advanced design inquiry in the area of health and wellness within its professional degree program (Master of Architecture) as well as in Master of Arts in Architecture and PhD in Architecture 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 post-occupancy 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).

The University of Illinois-Chicago offers a Master of Science 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.
