Does anyone have any firsthand experience with or knowledge of this program? It sounds like the exact program I'm looking for (on paper, at least) but I'm curious to get other insight into the program.

Program description: "The five-year doctoral program prepares candidates for careers in university teaching, cultural advocacy and administration, museum curatorship, and publishing. It aims chiefly, however, to educate teachers capable of effectively instructing future architects in the history of their own field and its manifold connections with the culture at large. The program forges a unique combination of professional knowledge with a historical and analytical grasp of key phases in the history of architecture, especially those that have a demonstrable share in the field’s current state and its critical issues. The program secures sound training in historical study and historiography, imparting technical knowledge and awareness of intellectual trends that inform the reception and role of architecture around the world. The history of science and technology (as well as its reception in popular culture and the arts), the history of media, and an understanding of architectural practice are as important as the fine arts and literature."

For reference, I will be graduating in 2015 with a Masters in Architecture (and minor in Urban Studies) from Tulane University. I've worked in communication/editorial positions with Architecture for Humanity, ArchDaily, and Metropolis Magazine, and am also collaborating on an upcoming New York architecture book. I'm not necessarily planning to go back to school soon, but am entertaining options for the future....

I'd be grateful for any help/advice anyone would have to offer!
