About the course

The landscape is a life-sustaining ecosystem shared by all that inhabit the earth. It is the cities and towns where we live and work, the parks and gardens where we play, the fields that nourish our bodies and supply our economies, and the wilderness that restores us. Pressures from a growing population and a changing climate mandate that we look beyond the aesthetic potential of the designed landscape so as to engage it as a territory of experience, activity and interpretation, and a strategy through which contemporary challenges facing regions, cities and the people that inhabit them - access to healthy food and clean water, environmental degradation, public health - are addressed. The Sustainable Landscape Design Concentration positions students for careers through which they impact the way in which we live, work and play and shape the health of our environment through the applied arts and sciences of the designed landscape. Studies include plant materials, design development and communication, construction methods, environmental science, and ecological systems. Through strategic advising, students will be positioned for careers as design/build entrepreneurs, specialized consultants to professional design teams, or for advanced placement in UT’s School of Landscape Architecture.
