Clemson’s graduate program in architecture named one of America’s best CLEMSoN — DesignIntelligence magazine has named Clemson University’s graduate program in architecture one of the nation’s top 10 programs among all public universities in its annual publication “America’s Best Architecture and Design Schools”, (November 2012). Clemson ranks fourth among public universities in the South. the publication also named Clemson architecture professor Daniel Harding one of the “30 Most Admired educators for 2013.” the program rankings are based on a survey of leading practitioners with direct experience in hiring and supervising the performance of recent graduates in the architecture and design fields. Now in its 13th year, the survey is conducted annually by DesignIntelligence for the Design Futures Council, an interdisciplinary network of design, product and construction leaders. Nearly 400 professional practice firms participated, answering the question “In your firm’s hiring experience in the past five years, which of the following schools are best preparing students for success in the profession?” the participants were asked other related questions, such as how programs rate in teaching various skills. In naming Harding as an exemplary role model in architecture education, the publication praised his use of design-build techniques in addressing community issues. Clemson also ranked as one of three programs named as a “top Brand in Architectural education” for construction leadership.
