• The program provides for a three-year course of study for students without a design-related undergraduate degree who wish to pursue graduate studies in landscape architecture.
  • That track provides one year of leveling courses, so students may then pursue advanced studies in their remaining two years. Students pursuing the three-year MLA are then able to engage in the profession of landscape architecture as practicing professionals.
  • The program also provides a two-year course of study for students entering the program with an undergraduate design degree in landscape architecture or a related field such as architecture.
  • The program provides opportunities to engage in landscape architectural design as well as the potential to engage in specializations such as community planning and design, environmental restoration, and environmental informatics focusing on GIS-based planning and design methods.
  • With both the two-year and three-year programs, the student concludes their studies by completing either an applied capstone project or a thesis.
