• The graduate program complies with the requirements of three governing bodies: the New York State Education Department (NYSED), the Council of Landscape Architecture Registration Boards (CLARB), and the Landscape Architecture Accreditation Board.
  • The degree programs are designed to accommodate a variety of academic backgrounds, both with and without design training in landscape architecture and architecture.
  • Therefore, each student’s curriculum plan is tailored to the individual’s specific background and academic goals. They offer two possible paths toward the completion of the MLA degree.
  • The intent of the MLA degree is to provide the foundational, historical, theoretical, technical, and skills-based grounding of the field of landscape architecture.
  • The core of the degree program is the design studio that introduces students to fundamental design methodologies and they are asked to pursue and develop their design process and learn about research methodologies.
  • Supplemental courses in all other aspects of the field provide the information that will be synthesized in the studio to reinforce the design process and end result
