History, Theory and Criticism of Architecture and Art

The History, Theory, and Criticism (HTC) group was founded in 1975 as one of the first to grant the Ph.D. degree in a school of architecture. Its mission has been to generate advanced research within MIT's School of Architecture and to promote critical and theoretical reflection within the disciplines of architectural and art history. Students and faculty work in a variety of fields, covering diverse parts of the globe. Commitment to depth and diversity is an integral part of HTC's identity and one of the reasons for the success of its students, who come to Cambridge from around the world. Between 1975 and 2001 HTC awarded 50 Ph.D.s and 47 Masters degrees, and the recipients of these degrees have gone on to teach in prominent universities and colleges worldwide. HTC includes art historians on its permanent faculty and is linked to the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture. It offers both a Ph.D. and Master's in art history as well as in architectural history. The core faculty is annually supplemented by distinguished visiting scholars who contribute significantly to the intellectual life of the program.
