THE FACULTY & PROGRAMS OF RESEARCH

The Faculty

The faculty of the School of Architecture and Urban Planning includes individuals with research skills and experience in a broad range of areas. Currently more than one-third of the School's faculty are actively involved in the Ph.D. Program as members of Area of Concentration or Dissertation Committees or as Minor Professors [Faculty serving as members of Area of Concentration or Dissertation Committees are noted in the listing of Current Students].

In addition, faculty from several other departments at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee [e.g., Anthropology, Business Administration, Computer Science, Educational Psychology, Exceptional Education, Geography, Nursing, Philosophy, Social Welfare, Sociology, and Urban Studies], at Marquette University (e.g., Sociology), at UW-Madison [e.g., Interior Design and Occupational Therapy], and at other universities have served as members of doctoral student committees.
