About the course

The three-year first-professional Master of Landscape Architecture track is designed for individuals who have completed a bachelor's degree in a field other than landscape architecture. The program offers a design studio-based curriculum integrating three focal areas central to practice of landscape architecture into the future: people and place, community engagement, and design for resilience, Emphasis is given to developing mastery of landscape architectural design through a series of design studios and a final design thesis that investigate challenges to the built environment across a range of scales from sites to regions. Individuals are admitted on a competitive basis. Applicants, who have completed a baccalaureate degree or its equivalent, are eligible for admission. Applications are reviewed by a faculty committee and evaluated on the basis of previous academic performance, relevant experience, statement of interest, and evidence of potential to successfully pursue graduate-level work in landscape architecture. Our students have varied educational backgrounds and experience. College-level courses in the natural sciences, ecology, urban and regional planning, and the visual arts (e.g., drawing, sculpture, printmaking, and/or basic design) are recommended although not required.
