Graduate study in Architectural Acoustics within the Durham School at the University of Nebraska—Lincoln

Abstract

Persons interested in pursuing graduate study in architectural acoustics are encouraged to consider joining the Architectural Engineering Program within the Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction at the University of Nebraska—Lincoln (UNL). Among the 21 ABET-accredited Architectural Engineering (AE) programs across the United States, the Durham School’s program is one of the few that offers graduate engineering degree programs (MAE, MS, and PhD) and one of only two that offers an area of concentration in architectural acoustics. Acoustics students in the Durham School benefit both from the multidisciplinary environment in an AE program and from our particularly strong ties to the building industry, since three of the largest architectural engineering companies in the United States are headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. Descriptions will be given on the graduate-level acoustics courses, newly renovated acoustic lab facilities, the research interests and achievements of our acoustics faculty and students, and where our graduates are to date. Our group is also active in extracurricular activities, particularly through the University of Nebraska Acoustical Society of America Student Chapter.
