The first MLA student graduated in 1968. The degree is offered through two tracks: The non-baccalaureate track for students without a previous degree allows students to enter as freshmen and progress through the professional graduate degree in landscape architecture and The post-baccalaureate track for students with a previous degree allows completion of a first professional degree in landscape architecture. The MLA program is fully accredited by the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board of the American Society of Landscape Architects. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
