The Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning offers three Master of Landscape Architecture (M.L.A.) degree programs that are structured to equip students with advanced design and planning skills:

  • The three-year M.L.A. degree is the first professional degree accredited by the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA). This degree is for students with non-design backgrounds.
  • The two-year M.L.A. degree is the second professional degree for those students with first degrees in landscape architecture, architecture, or environmental design.
  • The department also offers a two-year environmental planning program leading to the M.L.A. degree for students with a strong background in the environmental sciences or management.
