About the course
The Master of Landscape Architecture program is a fully accredited graduate professional degree that prepares graduates to enter the profession and discipline of landscape architecture. The MLA degree program accepts applications from students with previous degrees in non-design and design disciplines. The SA?P does not offer an undergraduate degree in Landscape Architecture. The Graduate program in Landscape Architecture at the University of New Mexico complements the Architecture and Community and Regional Planning programs within the School of Architecture and Planning. The strong interdisciplinary relationship among the three programs in addition to the School?s ties with professional, state, civic, neighborhood and cultural communities of the region ensures that students are given the opportunity to engage in a rich and diverse educational experience. Several classes are offered in the evenings but students will not be able to complete the two or three year programs of study in evening hours. Many of the students work part-time, however, applicants should not expect to be able to hold a full-time job while in their program of study. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
