- It embraces the shared interests of the Departments of Architecture and Landscape Architecture: culturally-based place-making, historic preservation, integrated design, urban context and design, and sustainable/ green design. The program prepares its graduates to become licensed architects and/or landscape architects poised to address urgent global and local issues related to the built environment through enlightened, responsible, and imaginative practice, activism, and leadership.
- The concurrent degree program allows incoming and current students in the Master of Architecture (M.Arch) and Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) programs to study both disciplines in a rigorous, predictable, and efficient way. The program promotes engagement and collaboration among students and faculty in both programs while strengthening and diversifying program offerings within the college. The program builds upon other successful concurrent degree programs in the College of Built Environments, where interdisciplinary education, collaboration, and practice have been identified as a priority.
