Hello Don
i dont know if this is exactly what you are looking for but here is one paper discussing the doctoral level, or rather reporting on activities developments and experiences from the Oslo School of Architecture and design.

Emne: Seeking recommendations for design curricula. Not philosophy -- actual courses
As many of you might know, I have been trying to understand the nature of
design education across the world for at least 3 different levels:
undergraduate, professional masters, and an academic PhD.
I have written a paper for the conference on Doctoral Education in Design to
be held in Hong Kong 22-25 May, 2011.
The paper is: Design and the University: An uneasy fit.

The conference is:

One of the reviewers of my paper wished I had more references (I have
no references). Alas, I don't know of any that deal with actual
curricula. I seek your advice. I am interested in the actual courses that
are required of undergraduate, masters students, and PhD students in design.
I am NOT interested in the philosophy of the curriculum -- I want actual the
actual curricula -- the courses.
Repeat: I do NOT want references on the philosophy of design education. I
have encountered many excellent papers on this topic. For example, the very
excellent papers by Archer, Baynes, and Roberts (Framework for design):

This collection is all about philosophy. i highly recommend these readings,
as well as that of our esteemed fellow discussant, Ken Friedman. But none of
these recommend actual courses. What is it that we should be teaching?
I want examples of real curricula: actual courses.
EXAMPLES: The ACM (the professional society of computer science)
has issued several curricula recommendations. Here are some, including one
for Computer-Human Interaction (which, to me, is a subset of interaction
design).

http://www.acm.org/education/curric_vols/CC2005-March06Final.pdf
I am not saying we should follow these recommendations. But I am looking for
something in the field of design that has the same flavor as these: a set of
actual course recommendations.
Thanks
