About the course

A Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree will equip you with the design skills and scientific knowledge you need to design dynamic places that help ensure a healthier future for us all. In this accredited, professional degree program, you’ll learn to use creativity, innovation, and problem-solving processes to create designs that are not only healthy for people and the planet, but are also beautiful.The four year program in Landscape Architecture requires 124 semester hours. The majority of these credit hours are in required landscape architecture courses, consisting of design studio, construction, plant materials and design, history, design communication, and professional internship. General education courses are also required, as well as courses in related fields like urban planning and geography.In the first year, students acquire basic knowledge about landscape architecture, natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and mathematics. This first year is general and flexible to allow students from other colleges and universities to acquire this basic knowledge and transfer into the second year of the curriculum.In the second year, students become deeply involved in studio experience and site engineering. Students learn a systematic approach to solve landscape architectural problems, emphasizing the basic principles of design, design process, and site planning skills. Methods of landscape survey and analysis further supply the student with a logical basis for making design decisions. The use of computers in the design process is introduced in this year as well.In the third and fourth years, we increase the complexity and scale of our students’ design opportunities. We connect them with real places and people and allow them to work collaboratively to create interesting, complex design solutions. Our students travel to places like Chicago, New York and Los Angeles and work on design solutions specific to these sites. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
