DesignIntelligence Survey

Clemson University School of Architecture Students and Alumni, 

For the past 20 years, DesignIntelligence has conducted its annual survey of America’s Best Architecture & Design Schools. I write today to ask for your participation in the 2022-2023 survey. 

These annual rankings are today’s leading resource to rank architecture and design programs on their ability to prepare graduates for professional practice. We are proud that our programs often are ranked highly in this survey and know that the accomplishments and ongoing support of our alumni and friends contribute significantly to our success.

The results will be published on a new website as America’s Top Ranked Architecture & Design Schools, where three sets of rankings will be reported: 

- Most admired programs

- Schools from which the greatest number of graduates are hired

- Schools chosen as the strongest in each of the twelve specialty focus areas

Please use the following links to access the surveys. Each of the three groups surveyed will be asked questions that match their area of expertise.

STUDENTS/NEW ALUMNI SURVEYS, undergraduates and graduates in programs, and new alumni who have graduated within the last two years.

PROFESSIONAL SURVEYS, hiring/supervising professionals within firms:

DUE: October 3, 2022 

Professionals will be asked where they hire from and why and which schools are strongest in 12 specialty focus areas, and their opinions on changes in the world of professional practice. Deans and academics will be asked to comment on the current and future state of design education. Students will be asked how programs prepare them for practice and what their intentions are for applying their training after they graduate.

If you have questions or comments about the survey, you may contact Mary Pereboom, DesignIntelligence, Principal Research and Administration, mpereboom@di.net. The work of our students, faculty, alumni, and friends makes the Clemson School of Architecture special. Participation in this survey will help us communicate our collective strength to the design community. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Thank you for your consideration. 

Sincerely,
